My second set of Forgesars came in today! This is the set I will be using for the time attack this weekend. I am limited to a 285 width tire in my class so I couldn't go with an 11" rear. This set is 19x9 up front and 19x10 out back. 245/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear. I went with the stock wheel/tire sizes so I can provide a direct comparison between the Nitto NT05 tire and the stock Bridgestone tire.

Anyways, I got a weight on the 19x10" rear for those wondering. Weighs the same as the 19x9" front at 25 lbs...

Also, if anyone is interested I will be selling this set of wheels & tires after this weekend since I will be getting my 18" Forgestars fairly soon for track duty.

wow looks nice but those are HEAVY - so its more like a cast wheel less like a forged when it comes to weight...

I don't think thats heavy at all for a 19x10" wheel.

agree, not heavy... stock is heavier... check these out, the lightest are around 26 lbs in this size, and cost a lot more !
Wheels for 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe Sport Package

there are some 19x10.5s that would be more like 23 lbs like the te37, but again 2-3x as much $ to save 2 lbs

18s are it, if you're going for weight !

Enkei RPF1's I would have gotten for a track wheel as those are extremely light. 18's are around 18 lb.

The Forgestars are just beautiful. Loving the piano black.

Looking good! Must be nice having a tire sponser :icon17:

M.Bonanni 05-27-2009 05:17 PM

Thanks guys! The pictures don't do the finish of the wheels any justice.

semtex 05-27-2009 05:52 PM

Wow, that looks awesome! :yum:

theDreamer 05-27-2009 05:56 PM

Wow, those look fantastic.

M.Bonanni 05-27-2009 05:59 PM

Thanks guys! They will be for sale next week :D.

Race prep is done! 702Graphics.com took care of the new time attack vinyl layout for the race (although I might remove the mirror stripes) and the car is ready to rock!
