Not a chance. LM's are strong and beautiful, but far from lightweight.

I read somewhere that Nissan made it so that people can't modify cars or it'll cause error codes? There was something about tire sensors not making the car run right if it's modified with aftermarket products? Darn, where's that link?....

Yea it was the tps on the wheels. At TAS all the GTRs with wheels were parked then the wheels swapped for the show. Plus the stock wheels have actual function for performance and safety under high speed turns.

hmm then boo on this then

IMO, GT-R is a car that is more about functional than having good looks

and since the stock rims were specially designed to keep the tires from slipping off under high speed corners and these LMs arent, id say it is a pretty stupid idea to change to these

BBS LM's are quality, track proven wheels. They are just as light as any forged, multi-piece wheel out there. Oh and I'm pretty sure the tires are not going to slip off. These wheels have been put on vehicles pushing more HP than the GT-R.

I love BBS LM. I have them on my R32, R33 and R34 GT-R and I will be putting a set on my R35 when I get it. They look great on my XB too



I also like BBS RS/Super RS..those are my favorite...they look great on my XB too.. but i wasn't sure if they make them in 20's...
