Message	the 370Z sport version (not the forged nismo's) wheels weigh about 22 pounds (front) and 23 (rear). I know the z32 stock wheels weigh 19 pounds (front) according to wheelweights.com. I still don't know how much the stock z32 rear wheels weigh. Are the base wheels significantly heavier than the sport version? I'm thinking that 22 pounds vs 19 pounds isn't that much of a jump to go from a 16 inch wheel to an 18 inch wheel, and expanding from 225 to 235. I'm just talking fronts here as I don't have all the info on the rears. I know there is the added element of how much more the bigger tire will weigh over stock as well. It seems almost impossible to get all of the following to come together in a single wheel: 1. Fit on the car (lug pattern, offset, etc) 2. Look good and truly upgrade the looks, not just the size 3. Come at a price that doesn't rival how much the car itself is worth. Something around $400 per wheel is reasonable, I think. 4. Lightweight It seems like you can get 3 out of 4 conditions with a whole slew of wheels, but I haven't seen many that fit all 4 conditions. At least not according to my tastes. The base model 370Z wheels are looking like a pretty attractive option for me right now (possibly used), but I haven't found anything that shows me how much more weight I would be adding to each corner if I go that route.
