They're only like 2-4lbs per corner lighter right?

Is that make that much different in term of performance ?..

I felt a difference in acceleration & the wheels turn & corner better. Not my imagination lol.

They should be around 10 pounds lighter. I don't think I noticed any change though personally.

Hmmmm maybe just me haha. Oh btw pics are up! Thanks Stu for taking the time to put pics of your wheels. 20mm looks great. I'm gonna measure & check if I can go with the 25mm.

Not a problem. Looks great! Are you going to get center caps?

Thanks! Yes, I'm getting the G35 center caps & having a bodyshop paint them to match. Gonna keep the Infiniti logo chrome.

Sick! Let me know how that goes and I might do the same.

OEM FX 20's - 31 lbs
GT-R 20 (rear) - 26.8 lbs
GT-R 20 (front) - 25 lbs link for both

Thats just for the wheels alone. With the requisite wider tires installed the difference decreases...

OEM FX 20's + tire weight - 67.4 lbs
GTR rear wheel+ tire weight - 66 lbs
GTR front wheel+ tire weight - 63 lbs

The +tire weight decrease can easily be achieved on the FX by installing lighter tires...

I shall weigh my GT-R's versus my OEM's. Both still have tires. Wonder if the paint makes the GT-R's lighter or heavier.

You no trust my links?

It depends on the paint. I heard anything the comes stock on Godzilla defies gravitation... :wub:

I just want to see what mine are exactly haha.

Congrats! Either the black or gunmetal would look great. I don't think you can lose. Well . . . if you color matched them Laser Red . . . then you would lose!

Thank u everybody for the compliments! I just ordered a set of H&R 25mm DRM spacers ($149 shipped) Can't wait to complete the look. :smile (2):

looks nice!

 

[VGBSUPERFLY7]

That is what I was thinking. I might reconsider now!

gunmetal is sexy; black is mundane

Love those GT-R wheels!
