Put the GT-R Rims on Normal Nissans! Like, the Elgrand. Who knows it might add some power!

Basic physics says lighter rims does make the rotating mass lower thus more power is available. I do it on my road bike, my training rims are somewhere just under 4lbs while my race rims are 3.1lbs, my average speed and time does go up.

So it may not be a stupid idea and could look cool ;)

Yes it was. I don't know how much the stock elgrand rims weigh, but i'm pretty sure GT-R Rims is lighter.

Whatever, that's a sexy van. Things which start flame wars must be hot.

I tried it with some GTR wheels on my R32. I wasn't going to beat the quarter panels to death on a relatively rust free R32 to make them fit.
Sold them back to Upgarage and picked up some 33Gtr wheels.

The 350/370Z make the 35 wheels look great. I think some tuner garage had them on a 32 also.

Although, I think IIRC, its a 20x9 on all 4 corners.
