Wheels under $2.5k that are not heavy
 
I am wondering what wheels I can get that are equivalent to the Nismo wheels in size (19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear) and don't weigh a crapload more.

I believe the front Nismo wheels weigh about 20 lbs while the rear weigh closer to 23. Don't quote me on that it's just what I read in another post on here.

So far the only ones that I know of that come close are the VMR V710 wheels which I think cost closer to $1k.

What else is there?

tsw nurbs. economical and light and good looking. all you need to add is a 10 or 15mm spacer on the rear.

get 19x9.5 ET32 and 19x10.5 ET27


but why sell your nismo wheels? just use them.

Forgestars will run you about that maybe a little more. PM Eric @ getyourwheels

Why not try to find a used set in good shape? I'm sure if you look hard enough you could find some Volks for a good price.

You could look around for some used wheels, or check out some Enkei wheels. TSW, VMR, Forgestar are also good choices.


We carry TSW, VMR, Forgestar, Volk/Rays, Enkei, Work... And others. Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you need pricing. I can get you a set of VMR wheels for a great price.

I have never heard of VMR wheels before, but they look exactly like the Avant Garde M310's that I like. They are a bit cheaper and I can get them in gun metal without paying $200 for custom powdercoating. Sound perfect to me. Just wondering how the quality is for VMR wheels and what the weights are.

I was looking at the avant garde m310 as well but they are 28lbs which is too heavy for my liking. I think the vmr v710s are closer to 24 lbs but I'm not sure

I'm still trying to find the weight for the VMR, but it seems like they are about the same as the AG M310s. Not too sure though, maybe one of the vendors can give us a better idea on the weights?

Also, it seems like the AG M310s are a bit stronger than the VMRs because of the way they are made (low pressure cast for AG vs gravity cast for VMR).

with that amount I'm pretty sure you can find a set of used volks that are in good condition.

your profile says you have an 09 nismo..... whats wrong with those wheels?

SPOHN 04-02-2012 04:11 PM

My AME TMO2's cost that about a year ago. Not sure if there higher now. Might take a few months to get. They come in the size your looking for but only in +22 offset. So I run a 10mm spacer in the rear. My wheels don't weigh no more than 22lbs.

370Ztune 04-02-2012 04:13 PM

You could get close top that price with a set of Weds SA55Ms.
