get the wheels. i didnt know the 370 came with standard staggered wheels...kinda dope.

those offsets arent so bad, definitely something that is more than manageable to tweak if need be.

Those wheels come with sport package which is additional 3k

If you were to buy the rims from the dealership, each rim is $930!

They are forged though and are lightweight for their size(19"/23lbs).
stocks tC2 are 18"/26lbs

yikes! i would go CCW with that kind of money (LM20's of course...not that ive thought about before or anything...haha)

they will obviously be crazy strong, but if your interested in lightweight wheels and are willing to spend $1400, you should look into some advan's or volks. both used could be in that range and maybe a little more rare.

I also hate when wheels have more lug nut wholes than required for mounting
( i know its so they fit more bolt patterns but makes it look cheap and generic)

as for light weight....I guess it be nice. I was just referring to Rays being light as another positive thing about em.

and the whole exclusive/rare thing I dont care for at all.....most of the time haha

was it the Longo tC?
matte white with black emblems on gunmetal 5axis, 5axis lip kit, bbk, and frosted tail lights?

hat was the first fixed up tC2 i saw. it was at the dealership when i purchased mine

if thats the one...something like that. i might go for a wider rim and maybe a lower drop...to get a nice HellaFlush look. gotta see how it will fit, i'm sure the guys at 5axis will help me out with it. just need to get my coils on first

i hope to pick up some "not yet released" coils before the end of the year after i get those in...i can figure out what size wheels/tires exactly

these would be my second choice...

..mainly because it comes in more sizes. also this is the latest rim by 5axis

Both of those wheels have always turned me on. And I totally agree with you on wheels having more than 5 lug 'wholes' . That's the main reason I haven't been too crazy about jumping on the XXR bandwagon.

Lol you said to each his own and then agreed with me. I was talking about both 5 axis wheels. The nissan rays are cool and all, but the 5 axis ones just really...do it for me ;)

the only crappy thing about 5 axis is that they are heavy.
I emailed them earlier for the 6 spoke model and here it is:

Hi Yuriy,

Thanks for getting in touch with us and your interest in FIVE:AD Products by Five Axis. The weight on the 18x7.5 R6:F is about 26-27 lbs. Let us know if you have any questions.


Best regards,


so they will be heavier than stock

Even if they were light, they'd bend easily compared to wheels that are $500+ each.
