Where is the black on black?!?

 

Great looking wheels on some great looking cars! I read this whole thread and have noticed the weights are all over the map. Keep in mind that the accuracy of a weight measurement is related to where it lies in the range of the scale(do to the load cell that feeds the measurement to the meter) The most accurate readings will be in the 50 percent range of full scale. So for a 17 to 19 pound load a 50 pound scale would be the best way to measure. I noted one weigh in here on a 250 pound scale. The target is less then 10 percent of full range. That reading and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee. So anyone out there have a set of wheels and access to a 50 pound scale? It would be nice to get some real numbers.....

Anyone have Jim's email address from discount tire direct?

 

The TSW website lists the weight of 17X9 Nurburgring as 19.2 lbs.

The 17x9 was noticeably lighter than the ap2v2 front wheel in my hands. That's as far as I got as to weighing them

 

Hi guys,
sorry for disturbing you
I think I've understand but I ask confirmation.
1)Can I mount TSW Nurburgring whit these measures
front: 17x7.5 Off Set: 45
rear: 17x9 Offset: 63
with no problem on s2000 first generation 2002?

2)What are ideal tires for this wheels?
front: 215/45?
rear: 255/40?

Thanks a lot,forgive me for my English

 

Those wheel sizes should be perfect. I would personally recommend 225/45 on the front to keep the diameter the same as the rear, and to give you a little more grip. It'll preserve the front/rear width ratio from the factory a little better too.

 

 

I'm about to purchase a set of nurburgrings. Where is a good place to get lug nuts and hubcentric rings(do i even need the rings?)
