Also you can get the 350hp the nismo will put out by just flashing the ECU. So save the money difference and do what you want. Oh not to mention the wheels are the sport package are forged.

what you mean they are forged? yea as i said im leasing for 39 months so that means i cant do nothing to the car. only tint

Forged

The ultimate in one-piece wheels. Forging is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an extreme amount of pressure. This creates a finished product that is very dense, very strong and therefore can be very light. The costs of tooling, development, equipment, etc., make this type of wheel very exclusive and usually demand a high price in the aftermarket.

In forged wheels, computer numerically controlled
(CNC) mills add the cosmetics and the bolt circle to exacting tolerances.

That will give you an idea.

Volk Racing Wheels

IMO the Volk TE37 is probably the most recognized forged rim out there

The Volk Racing TE37 by RAYS Engineering is the current line of street and race wheels in various versions. The main line TE37 is the forged aluminum version.

Material is 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. This material is hot forged. 1st forging process is done with pressure of 5,000 kilograms per square centimeter. 2nd forging process is a slow process with 3,500 kilograms per square centimeter.

The lip is also forged to 3,500 kilograms per square centimeter. This allows the wheel to have less material than other wheels, but have more strength and durability.

The wheel's excess material is machined off (to tolerance of 1/100 of a millimeter). Powder coating and clear coating is done by a special proprietary process to ensure long lasting quality and durability.

The weight of Volk Racing TE37 is 8 lbs. for 15 x 6.5 and 16 lbs. for 18 x 8.5. With this kind of lightness and durability, it is no surprise to see that this wheel is a very coveted wheel among enthusiasts.

^The TE37 is on the left and the G2 is on the right^

Try using Google. It'll give you links to different retailers. Different retailers will have different prices, so there's no way to tell you how much these cost because it just depends. I will tell you up front, however, that Volks are one of the more expensive brands.

Type in "Volk wheels" for the search term.
