Those wheels are pretty nice.... do you know if they make them in 20's? I'd get them for sure if they did. If not is there is someithing similar out there in 20's...

Re: New wheels fitments (ADR M-Sports)

Will they fit the 6mt sedan staggered? What size tires should I go with and who has the best deal. One thing I'm after is to have tires that are not shorter than stock. I originally wanted 20's, but there are none that look similar to this in my range. I love the "collagen injected lips" on these.

Re: New wheels fitments (ADR M-Sports)

I know that the ones on the 350 Z's are a 35 offset front and rear...the rear rims are 9.5 inches wide...the fronts are 8.5...a coupe should have no problem fitting them...the sedan I am not sure if the rear fitment would work because of the width...but it might because I have seen 350Z's with 10.5 inch wide rear rims...

Re: New wheels fitments (ADR M-Sports)

So lose a few pounds to make up for the difference. Or sand off your paint, remove your bumpers, and take out the rear seats. Who really cares about a couple of pounds unless you are a professional racer. Sounds rice to me.... "My car is faster because my rear seat has been removed"

Just out of curiousity does anyone know what the stock wheels weigh in at?

Re: New wheels fitments (ADR M-Sports)

The reason why u want the wheels to be light is because it is rotational mass. If u were to compare a car with removed back seat and no AC or something to keep wait down but it had 35 lbs wheels then it would still loses to a car with the back seat and the AC if it had 17 lbs wheels. Rotational mass is a big edge u should try to reduce it when ever possible.

"Every 5 lbs of wheels weight drop is worth .5 seconds drop in time on a 1 minute course."

<hr></blockquote>I'll keep this invaluable nugget of information at the front of my mind when I'm on my way to the Home Depot to pick up a 40lb. bag of rock salt for my water softener. Am I the only person who uses his/her car for transportation in comfort and not as a tool for saving .5 seconds of my life every chance I get? Autocrossing/drag racing is fine, but doesn't your car spend 99.9% of the miles it accumulates on public roads doing boring stuff like commuting and running errands?

Re: New wheels fitments (ADR M-Sports)

I spend about 1% of my G time drag racing/autocrossing, 49.5% pretending I'm drag racing/autocrossing, and 49.5% wishing I was drag racing/autocrossing.

Not that it makes me superior or anything. But an S-10 will pick up your 40 lb bag o' salt as well or better, as a million "like a rock" commercials will tell you during any football game. And that poor guy awhile back who got sucked into buying an ES300 will be doing it in more comfort than you.

We bought these cars at least in part for the thrill of its performance. One of the things that really aids the sensation of speed is actually being fast. And one of the proven ways of being faster, no matter what car you're driving, is lighter wheels.

And maybe it's only 1 second per pound. But 1 second matters alot. If these cars came stock with 40 lb chromed 20 inchers that made the car get from 0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds instead of 5.7 seconds, would people be as excited about the car? Even though it could still haul salt about as fast as an Accord?

(Note: I have no idea how much 20 inch wheels that weigh 40 lbs would actually slow the G down; figures are for illustrative purposes only.)
