NISMO wheels

has anybody uses nismo wheels and the reason is because the wheels for the 350z has the same off set as the 240sx and the guy from project nissan told me it's light for an 18inch wheel. if so I would put it in the 240sx. here's the link

Those are 5 lugs, most 240's are 4 lug, unless you wanna do a 300zx brake upgrade.

just to clarify, the z32 brakes are not necessary for 5 lug. the calipers don't bolt onto the hub. they bolt onto the knuckles but even then, the calipers mounting bolt pattern are still the same. btw nismo wheels = volk rays. also nismo does make 4 lug wheels. just not in the 18".

the NISMO 350Z wheels ARE manufactured by VOLK RAYS. Have you ever held one? If you have, you would have noticed that on the rim it actually says RAYS forged on it.

I wonder why they would stamp that on the rim?

The 350Z Nismo wheels are TE37s in a different mold. Just because they're not six spoke doesn't mean they are all that different. Same specs, different look

The sentra SE-R Nismo wheels are gram lights specs.

They are not Volk Rays... Volk Racing is another branch of Rays.. so YOU need to shut up and learn.

haha you have too much time on your hands. i guess you dont understand that not all Rays are volks. The nismo rims that I MYSELF installed on a friends 350z this past friday say no where on them that they are volk series, maybe Rays, but not Volks. And the thing that makes Te37s Te37s IS the mold. all the forged Rays are made of the same stuff, its the mold that makes them different. so saying that the nismos are te37s in a different cast is unbelievably stupid. if you say that then you can say that all the different volks are the same, so do are you saying that the CE28Ns ARE TE37s?? no, they arnt.

maybe YOU should try and learn some stuff kid

let me make it simple for you guys

TE37s... black people

NISMOs... white people

different on the outside, same *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, and build on the inside.

that was my point.

well technically if the te37's are white then wouldnt it be a white person???

We can also say a chevette ( no offense soultron ) and a mclaren F1 GT-r are on the outside and inside, just cars.

haha, didnt you even read my other post?? ALL rays are made of the same stuff, so are you saying that CE28Ns are TE37s? they arnt, so therefore TE37s are not Nismos.

if you are so knowledgeable about everything, then why do you make an analogy as stupid as that one?
