    Traded Rims..Now Rollin on 18's

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    My friend Juan and I decided to trade rims because he was getting tired of his and I wanted to get bigger rims anyway so we swapped last night after he installed his HIDs on his Nissan Spec-V. :-D

    They are 18" Konig Theories...Graphite with Polished Lip. Today im going to wash my car and the rims and get some better shots :)

    How much lighter is the complete wheel assembly vs. stock (wheel PLUS tire)?

    And if it's heavier-- why did you do that?

    And looks somehow save fuel and give an advantage on the track, street, and strip?

    Actually these 18" rims are LIGHTER then my 17's...The 17s were as heavy as steelies. These 18's are only 18lbs a piece with tires

    Nope no drag track for me...straight show.

    18lbs WITH tires? Dang... the 14" steelies weigh about 19lbs bare. So when you add the tires to them, they really get heavy.

    I see now that you have your looks AND your weight savings. Awesome!

    I thought that sounded a bit light.... I would guess the tires would add a significant amount of weight....

    That's still an excellent total weight, then, that is if the wide but low 18" tires weigh less than the tall and skinny 14" tires like on my car...

    looks good, i thought that i would not like 18's at all but my BF has his chrome on his truck and it looks tight...

    it might be me but in the pic they do look small...we just have to see them in person to really get the feel for it i guess
