^^^ Thanks for doing that sensi09, rep for you for being proactive. I was just about to post that info up as well.
What this means boys and girls is that a set of CE28's in the same sizes will probably save us around 20 lbs total. In 18's we'll probably see a 25 lbs saving. (Just a rough estimate, so plz correct me) |

23.8 lbs for a 19x10 stock wheel isn't bad at all.

We are overlooking one area of weight saving for the 370Z: those Akebono brakes.
Since alot of G35 guys ended up upgrading their brakes to the Akebono brakes from the G37, which are exactly the same as the Z34 brakes, they all had a first hand experience at how heavy those rotors really are. A 2-piece aftermarket rotor would definitely help. Especially since that's all unsprung weight, which has more of an impact on acceleration than other areas of weight. |

I compiled a list of some of the common Volk wheel weight options for the 350Z and G35. Most of these sizes will fit perfectly on the 370Z

That's a heavy spare, but a light sub woofer! I'll be leaving both in. I'm some-what surprised they didn't use the space-saver spare like they did in my 300zx.

Cool for the dragstrip, but it will mess with your handling balance on a road course. For anyone planning on setting their car up for the road course, just make sure you remember to take the spare and tools out of the back BEFORE you corner balance
