No, I happen to like those Infiniti wheels, if you read my post I said CURRENT Sedan wheels, those are from 2007-2009.

 

As will I. Amazingly - they are rated much higher than the RE050, they are cheaper (fronts are way cheaper, rears a bit more), and the fronts are lighter by 3lbs, rears lighter by 4lbs. Sweet. And as an added bonus, their treadwear rating is approx 2x of the RE050

 

Nice! Weight off the tires is materially more significant pound for pound than wheels due to their distance from the axis.

 

I just found out from a search on another forum that the avant gardes I'm interested in now come in forged flavor, wedging in at 3-4 lbs lighter than the pressure cast variety. I need to get a price on those...

 

Does anyone know the weight of the stock 17 in sedan wheel...maybe 22-23lbs? I'd like to maybe upgrade to the split 7 spoke 18x7.5 all around, but didn't want to add too much weight. My other thought is to get aftermarket 17x8 wheels wrapped in the stock tire size (225-55-17) to stretch the side wall a little, but I'm not sure if it would improve the look or the performance. Roads aren't great in my area and this would be a daily driver.

 

I don't think they are to be honest, but that's just my opinion

 

Those are also on 2010...the performance wheel package, noit the sport

They were offered in 18x7.5 front and 18x8.5 rear on the sport, but in 2010 they were 18x7.5 all around as the performance wheels.

 

If you got the performance wheels on the 2010, these are what you got...

Not sport, but performance...

 

This past week I changed from the stock 18" wheels to forgestar F14s, 19X9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear. Weight was a concern so I took the time to take a few pictures for record keeping :P

Stock Front



F14 Front



Stock Rear


F14 Rear


New tires are PSS 245 on the front, 275 for the rear.
I was pleasantly surprised with the weights. I'm losing a Kg in the front and only gaining 2 Kg at the back which is hard to believe when you look at the wheel size differences

Stratos.-

 

Nice! Please post up pics of your ride because those are the other wheels I'm seriously considering, specifically because of the weight advantage!

Thanks

 

The thing is, the nicer the wheels the more hideous the wheel gap becomes. So now, I'm looking into coilovers to bring the wheel gap under control and then post pictures of the final thing.
But here are some that I took during the install. It shows how much better the car looks with new wheels comparing with stock:

 

the scale is in kilograms if anyone is confused by the low weight.

 

You are right, I edited my first post to show weight gains/loses in Kg.
2.2lbs into a kg for anyone that cares to make the conversion :P

 

Looks great status. What springs are you currently running?

 

I'm not. It's stock.
