Wheels showed up today!!! These things are PURE SEX in person. Very impressed with the quality. Here are the weights for all of your inquiring minds...
19x9 - 25 lbs. 19x11 - 26lbs. http://www.doubledownmotorsports.com...starweight.jpg And the Nitto Invo tires for good measure... 275/35/19 - 29 lbs. 305/30/19 - 32 lbs. http://www.doubledownmotorsports.com...invoweight.jpg Combo wheel/tire weight... Front - 54 lbs. (+1.8 lbs over stock sport package) Rear - 58 lbs. (+1.2 lbs over stock sport package) Stock lug nuts vs. Muteki open ended lug nuts (-3 lbs over stock)... http://www.ddmtimeattack.com/370ztaprep7.jpg So the street wheel/tire/lug nut package nets a weight gain of 4 lbs total for all four corners. Thats the bad news. The good news, is that we upped the front tire size from a 245 to a 275, upped the rear tire size from a 275 to a 305, and upped the rear rim size to 11" wide. The added tire and wheel size far outweighs the minimal weight gain! Hopefully with my track setup of 19x10 all around and 275 width tires all around I can at least break even with the stock weight. :) |

|

I had to switch the wife cars for the day though so I could haul the wheels & tires down to get mounted so she has the Z with her at work. :( Mounted picks will come tonight after she gets home. |
I think she needs to be "sick" this afternoon and head home early. ;)
Cannot wait for the pictures. |

Wheels are on the car! First the pics...

Pros: - Love the style of wheel! - Wheel quality is stellar. - Very happy that a 275 tire fits up front! - No rubbing with 275/305 stagger. Cons: - Strictly coming from a looks standpoint, a skinnier tire up front would have looked better. - Rears could use a 5mm spacer since I am running -2.5 camber to look a bit more flush. Or I could just adjust my alignment before and after track days, but I am lazy :). |
What color car did you get, silver of PG? They look great, you have me wondering now.
|
The car is Brilliant Silver
|
Ah, are you going to do another photoshoot with the green pin stripe soon? I like the idea of picking a color for a pin stripe, and green is a bit out on a unique side of things.
