370z sport wheels vs. nismo

Just searched the forum, a few different posts said the same thing (and each said they weight them).

im just curious as to why there is such a large difference from front to rear with the nismos. they are the same width apart from each other as the sport rims, which the sports barely vary from front to rears....

It's the design of the wheel even with the .5 inch difference the amount of material is less on the Nismo wheel than what is used for the sport rays. That is the reason as simple as you can get....Wheel design.

I wasn't questioning why the nismos are lighter than the sports, I was questioning why the weight differential is so much different on front to rears with the nismos compared to the differential of the sports. The width difference between both rims is the same, so i just found that strange..
