21x10.5" TSW Forged Nurburgring

[toddfx]

I sold my 08 with 22" wheels and just thought the ride was too harsh(for me), but I like the look of 22's. I bought a 2012 FX50s and decided to stay with the 21" TSW Nurburgring in Gunmetal.
The 295/40-21 is the same diameter as stock and the fit is perfect.
The wheels are 10.5 wide +41 offset. Fit is perfect and plenty of big brake clearance.
Now I gotta lower it just a little.

Look good but why does it say IPL on the fender lol?

Awesome choice! I have looked for 21's also but the high offset made me choose the 20's. Great rims for the price and very light too!

Looks great bro!

Great choice in wheels.

Thx. Handling is night and day compared to the factory tires. Might be just because they are wider, I don't know.
Seems to handle bumps in the road the same though and road noise is no different.
The IPL was on the side when I bought it. Is it an option in some package? I have no idea. My dealer wasn't sure. I was the second FX50s they have seen.
wish I could lower the front 1/2". I went to the dealer and it looks like the new Qx70 even sits a tad higher in the front. especially compared to my 2008 FX35.

As for the offset. They have them in +50 also and they fit(adds 1/2" inside and 1/2" outside), but with 295 tires it just kissed the spindle. They had 285 tires, but the diameter was just off factory a tad and I wanted the wheels to sit flush. So we went with the +41.
I wanted forged and could not pass on the price for the weight savings. I will scale the old and new wheels this weekend to see the weight difference. I will be happy if they net out zero since the rims are wider and tires too.
These wheels only weighs 32 lbs. My old KMS Slides weighed in at 47lbs and I felt it.

No there is no such thing as an IPL fx. The IPL only comes on the G coupe. That's like putting AMG on a non AMG vehicle. I would def take that off

Now that's funny that the Infiniti dealer didn't even know that.

Nice wheels and great weight given it's size. Only Infiniti factory FX/QX performance class model is the "Vettel".

Better pics, but it needs to be lowered a lil.
H&R springs on the way.

 

[GEE50FX]

They look great.

 

[toddfx]

Thx, They emailed me pictures. I didn't know they took any at WSI while getting the wheels and tires on.

Wheels looks sick man

I just posted a thread due to finding out the new TSW's combo weighs in at 10lbs lighter per wheel than the OEM 21". Crazy

I believe it, the OEM 21s are a heavy wheel.
They are a lot heavier than my 20" Enkei GTC 01 wheels:
Here are the weights I got, the Yokohomas were worn but the Duelers were like new. I weighed them with our luggage scales which are very accurate, they always weigh within a pound of the Airports scales.:

Enkei 20" GTC01 Racing wheels with 265 Yokohama Parada Spec X tires..................... 58.9 lbs

Enkei 21" OEM FX50 wheels with 265 Bridgestone Dueler All Season tires....................72 lbs

Nice ride!

[1bad_fx45]

probably closer to 15 lbs lighter between each of these vs 21" stocks. it's gonna be more noticeable in the fx3X fo sho...
