Nakayama Zoro 10



after some decently intense searching, i found my wheels (provided it passes the "physical").

I need some input on this:

1. Is Nakayama a reputable brand? Should I expect a good quality wheel that won't crack if pushed?
2. Does anybody know the weight on these things?
3. What do you guys think?

In case you dont know, I've posted every once in a while inquiring about wheels, and this spring I'm going to be replacing the tires on the car, so I'm going to grab the wheels at the same time. Advan Kreuzer Xs are what I want, but $ is in the way. These will be perfect if they're worth the money.

Coupled with a slight drop, I think I have my situation set. (the drop can be talked about later though).

I thought Nakayama was the manufacturer of the OEM A-Spec wheels? Anyhow, those look great!

Enkei makes 'em. But the Nakayama Vadors were knock-offs (prolly where that rumor came from).

Actually I think the Nakayama's are much closer to the Advan Kreuzer X's

1. They're not all that common wheels, the only time you ever really hear of them is because of the A-Spec knockoff Vaders
2. Probably comparatively hefty, knockoff manufacturers aren't in the business of making light wheels in general (they aren't even making their own designs)
3. If you have to get knockoffs, I've seen worse. Not too bad looking

thanks for the input. all i need now is the exact weight. if its not too much of a difference, i might pull the trigger when the time comes in spring.

now ill start my research on how to make them fit the wheel wells nicely. i have to keep in mind, Chicago has some BAD winters.
