Never heard of them.

Are those rims a true 3-piece or just the 3-piece look?

Nippons are good. They've been around a long time. The only problem about them is the weight. I think Nippon wheels are heavy. Well that was back in the days. They might be lighter now a days.

Those rims are good quality pieces just don't really have alot advertisement hype. I think that the older one's are a bit heavy but the newer one's should be lighter. Those are some sick ass rims though. If you really care about how much a rim weighs then go for some 1 piece rims by rota or volks...etc. But if you're not gonna drag the car then I don't think the weight matters.

i had some nippon racing 17" TE37 lookalikes, i would refer to them as a regular wheel without much technology (rays) put into them...therefore they are heavy (Most of their series is heavy)...Other than that. Most people get wheels for looks, so dont llet the weight deter you

www.wheelweights.net

find out if their series is heavy
