I like them. I'm looking into some rims for my Maxima too. It's going to be repainted soon. I'm thinking black.

Black gloss is not my first choice for silver, but I must say 16lbs (if they really are) is a very impressive weight for an 18x9 wheel. What type if price did you pay (if you don't mind me asking?) The curved 5 spoke lip look goes pretty well with the 5th gen.

my rims in 18x9 +35 offset are claimed to weigh 14.74lbs each rim. if i had to guess its probably 15.xxlbs. but those cost $660 per rim msrp. thats why i was asking him if he actually weighed the rims on a scale to get those weights.

yeh i saw your thread. yours are buddy club and i know most of those are light to begin with. the OP's just don't look like the light, racing rim type.

No way in hell do those weigh in at 16lbs.

I've toted them around the shop before. Try tacking another 8-10 lbs on them, then you'll be in the right ballpark.

Weigh them, it's not that hard, even w/ the tire on.

I use my bathroom scale.
