wheels help needed again

[rsiwicki]

okay....these wheels have got my interest and the price seems too good to be true, but I live right down the street from where they are being sold.

so are the "HP" brand of wheel a good strong rim brand?

They look great, I'd send an email to the seller and see what the load rating for the rim is and if it's got the 66mm hub for Infiniti fitment. My guess is if he has "no idea" then that tells you they're too good to be true.

Looks flimsy to me............the name says it all ------- autoglitz.But I like solid heavish ugly rims that will stay in spec for 4-5 years.

they look like knockoffs to the BBS degigns.look at Tirerack for BBS wheels{they also carry ASA wheels,which are liscensed by BBS and look similar,for about half the price of BBS-anyone have any feedback as to the quality of the ASA,BBS liscensed rims?

You should skip these and get forged wheels. Your car is massive compared to almost every other car on the road, but this you already know. To get this style of wheel, and still have a good safety margin is SPENDY!

Qship-- ASA are one piece pressure cast..not nearly as strong as forged and much more porous(sp?). The forging literally pushes pockets of air out of the metal, jamming(for lack of a better term) the metal tightly together, where pressure casting is cheaper for the builder and customer, but isn't nearly as good/strong/expensive to the end user.

"licensed by BBS" means the style is licensed, not the stringent build and runout requirements. In other words, if I had a Ford Contour or old Acura Integra 4dr, i'd use ASA. If I had the massive Qship, i'd roll BBS or Fikse or similar.

Q45tech-- do you have photos of your car with the Z wheels installed?
