So this spring I am doing a little work to the ol' G. This work will include new wheels/tires and a nismo front and likely a gialla grill. My problem is this...I can NOT decide on what wheels I want to go with. I am really into the look of the Work T1S but am concerned about the weight. I was also looking at Volk Gt-s but those are again heavy. Do you guys have any suggestions?

 

Its tough to beat a forged 19" OEM wheel at 19 pounds IMO. If you are going cheep i believe TSW has a wheel that is 23 pounds, but from what I could see I have not been able to find too many. I still have not found one I like enough to buy. Weight is one of my main buying points too...

 

I just bought a set of Enkei RPF1s in 18x9.5 and 18x10.5.. they are roughly 18-19lbs each

 

I am currently on OEM 18's and I believe those are around 23. I like the weight of the oem 19's...I just dont want something stock. Work T1S with the step lip just look so damn good...I might have to bite the weight bullet...

 

you could always remove the rear seats and spare tire to make up for it

 

Ha I used to do that with my old car on track days....that defeats the purpose of driving an Infiniti though I think

 

or you could just go FI!!! hahahahh

Just make sure you do your homework Joe...LIghtwieght is soo the way to go. Switching between my OEM 19s to my aftermarket 19s was a difference, that is, Until I went FI! ;-)

 

My car is slow so I was more worried about the look which is why I went with these. By hand they don't seem THAT much heavier than my old stock 18s

my 20" t1s honestly feel lighter than my stock 18s. il have to throw them on the scale one day to check for sure.

 

You should do that for sure! :selfish post:

 

If you want less weight.. look for a 1 piece foreged 18" rim.

 

I want to keep weight a consideration....but I don't want to sacrifice looks completely. I know I am looking for a needle in a haystack here but I am definitely looking for a 19" rim.

 

Monoblock forged 19s are your best option, some other cast wheels are also relatively light as well though. The T1s are less than 25lbs anyways...not a bad deal if thats the look you want. Unless you are tracking, you'll never notice.

But like you I prefer as low weight as possible. All listed below are 19x__ and less than 25lbs at each corner, most below 23.

Plenty of wheels fit that description:
Advan RS, RG, RS-D, RG-D
AME Tracer, Circular
BBS RGR, RS-GT
Enkei RPF1, RPO3
Nismo LM-GT
Volk CE, TE, RE, SE, ME progressive...essentially any monoblock line Volks are under 23lbs for 19x9 to 10
honestly quite a few more if you go a hair above 25lbs at each corner...

It's up to you, many options to choose from. I for one love the Work T1-S, and it's not super heavy either by any stretch as compared to most multipiece wheels. Don't let a few extra lbs at each corner sway you from getting what you want. That being said function>form any day.

 

^the doc speaks
enough said

i have OEM Gunmetal Forged 350z Nismo rims
18x9 front
19x10 rear

i hear the rear are just under 30lbs
thats alot for so called FORGED rims lol.

but i bought these for looks, i dont track
my car anyway.

but T1's are sexy! GET EM

 

if i were to have some money for rims only,id go with 20"axis pentas in GM w/ polished lip or some work VSXX"s in burning black w/ polished lip
