Right a little history...
I have a set of Blitz Type 03 rims. I bought them for my 300zx brand new and never got to fit them.
This is the spec:
Front 18x8 28 235/40/18
Rear 18.10 22 295/35/18
My car is a NA1. I was advised to stick with a 17/18 setup and to go lighter than stock. Stock rims are so damn light i can't find many lighter, i have my eyes on a couple of sets. However stock rims make my Blitz look heavy however for a 3 piece rim are pretty light.
This is my problem, i don't want to mess up the peformance and handling by fitting heavier rims. Would the above sizes and weight of rims make that much difference??
I've not even trialed fitted.
This is what they could look like fitted.
My car is Charlotte Green.
Am i worrying about weight and size too much. I get what the NSX is about, the reason why it is fast as it is is for several reasons not purely down to power like most cars, i can beat and keep up with cars with more power and actually a RX7 with 70 bhp up on me however i'm worried fitting these rims goes against all that. That's why i wanted lighter so badly but is it all in my mind will it make much difference?
