Limited Edition Rays Wheel for the ITR, yay or nay?
They remind me of the Nismo wheels. I like it! Too bad its only for 5 bolt applications.

They say they only have 10 sets of them in stock. Specs:16x7 +42 5x114.3 12.6 lbs |
Those kind of remind me of Nismo LMGT4's, we bought a set of LMGT4 for a friend but Limted Editions which they made 200 of total.

I like it because its a simple wheel in a classic silver finish. Cant go wrong with that style on any car really.
|
Agreed but I don't like how they look on the integra, doesn't suit it as some other rims do.
|
good lookin rim!
|
group buy anyone? are they avail for purchase?
|
lol smoothe, you rim ----- now :P
|

|
I love 'em

They honestly look exactly like the wheels I had on the EL - so I like them lol.
|
Those rims are timeless! I love the polished/silver 5 star look. I wouldve gotten polished/silver slips on my teg if i kept it.
Those volks look small for some reason on the teg. The nismos however look sick on the 350z! |
I tried looking on their website for a price but I couldn't find anything. Jonn, how much are they?
|
they look sorta like these too: http://www.gruppe-s.com/Sti/sti_5.jpg
erick: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1632399 do it. they're only $1250 usd and you can be the only canadian R with them. |
soooooooooooooo tempting.
Simon, buy my ITR's. |
lovely.....stupid question though, what exactly do they mean by forged? im still a rim newb.. *sighs*
|
Forging is considered to be the best wheel manufacturing technique, forging allows for the compression of an aluminum billet (one solid piece of aluminum) into an aluminum wheel using over 13 million pounds of pressure combined with heat. This produces a wheel that is both stronger and lighter then your standard aluminum wheel.
|
Forging is a manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. The process is normally (but not always) performed hot by preheating the metal to a desired temperature before it is worked. It is important to note that the forging process is entirely different from the casting process (normal rims), as metal used to make forged parts is never melted and poured (as in the casting process).
The forging process can create parts that are stronger than those manufactured by any other metalworking process. This is why forgings are almost always used where reliability and human safety are critical. Just about any metal can be forged. However, some of the most common metals include: aluminum; carbon, alloy and stainless steels; very hard tool steels; titanium; brass and copper; and high-temperature alloys which contain cobalt, nickel or molybdenum. Each metal has distinct strength or weight characteristics that best apply to specific parts as determined by the customer. |

forging is made out of one block of aluminum, then compressed like suhk said, this turns out a stronger and much lighter product. :yeah: *edit* jon3d by smOOthe wit teH quiKneZZ! |
