Winter Wheels Mounted, MB Weapon with Blizzack LM-25

[chuckd05]

I mounted these on today. MB Weapon Wheels with Blizzack LM-25 tires....

I have a 25mm rear spacer on in the rear and had to take my front spacers off due to the front wheels sticking out too far. Ichiba makes a 38mm spacer that would make the offset sit a bit better in the rear but I am going to leave it as is.

These rims were only 510 shipped to my house on black Friday (100 dollars off) and only weigh 21.5 lbs in the rear. fronts are 18x8 rears 18x9. With the tire mounted the rears weighed 46lbs compared to 51 lbs on the OEM 19" Rays wheels.

The dry grip is all I can speak of right now and the blizzack LM-25s provide substantial amounts of grip. I am more than pleased with the feel of the new winter setup. I went with 245/40/18 in rear and 225/45/18 in the front. They are a bit smaller in diameter; but since the deal I got on them from a 350z guy was too good to pass up I will live with the sizes. Everything seems to be fine as of right now. The car did drop a little lower with these mounted though, I now scrape going into my driveway , wasn't the case before. Not a big deal to me.

Do they look as sharp as the rays ? Def not. But they aren't all that bad either...









I have several more angles and pics in my album if you want to check them out. For a very inexpensive wheel I am happy with the outcome. I was going to sell these to esfourteen but out of curiosity I mounted them and test drove them and had to keep them. Another thing to note was with the front spacers being extended stud ones I had to purchase open ended lug nuts, no biggie but something to note.
