I know they don't look like much but they say they're ultra lightweight. How do these weights sound?

15x6.5 = 11.9 lbs, 16x7 = 15.2 lbs, 17 = 16.8 lbs.

Here's the link. They're really cheap, mid $100's for 17" 4 lug.

They are pretty average weight, light for cast wheels I guess.

what offset
It says 40 but I know nothing about wheels so I don't know what that means.

Dont buy them.

my wheels have about a 40 offset. u can see that there sunk. get some better wheels. with 240s you have lower offsets like under 30

There is a reason why they are cheap... I have heard so many horror stories about these bad boys breaking under TQ...

My 17x8 FNs are 16 pounds on the dot, thanks to ZCam... lol

I could buy some RPF1's for that price pretty much.

I determine a wheel a good weight by it's size. If a wheel is 17" in diameter, it should be 17lbs or less. If it's 18" in diameter, it should be 18lbs or less. Etc.

That's just the way I look at it.

^ Pretty good rule of thumb...

Do not buy konigs! It is the same beware as the Rota horror stories.

Regardless of offset etc... if you abuse them they will break. I don't mean crack, I mean shatter into pieces like glass.

I want to see you put anything bigger\sexier looking on a B15 without some SERIOUS body modifacations...

Good sizes just depends on what you are putting the wheels on good sir, it is all relitive to the function...

there is no reason why a sentra can not fit a lower offset 15x8 or 16x8 wheel.

unless you want to look like a cheap skateboard. poor offset makes the world go around.

My B15 sentra is riding on 17x8 +35 right now. The front stick out past the fender about 5-10mm, and the rears are flush... lol

a dude i used to autocross with ran 15x8 0 offset diamond racing wheels. i think all he did was roll the fenders slightly.

Ya that is all I am going to go have to do, but to fit anything bigger than an 8" you are going to have to do something else because the fenders just arent that wide...

A 15 wont fit around my brakes... lol
