I'm really liking those 99bs.... anybody got a good place to buy em? Quick google around shows they seem kinda hard to find...
Ideally I'd like em in 18s honestly, if I'm spending a bunch on rims I'd prefer to be able to avoid 35-series or lower profile tires... also anybody know the weight on em?

These are 19's, so 18's will be just a tad lighter: (pics courtesy of lsflame)

good question. i heard he joined the circus? /OT
man, those things are light. not quite as light as my OEMs, but i suppose that's because my OEM's are narrower.

Sweet... should be a nice weight savings in 18 over the OEM 18s then...
Now, anybody know where I can actually -purchase- such wheels?
(and what would be the ideal width/offset to use in 18s on these?)

I ordered these rims earlier this year only to find out 3 months later that they were discontinued so it might be hard finding new ones unless some shops still have them in their stock.

Get in touch with MVP Motorsports - a close friend of mine bought these from MVP and was happy with the price and service. They're a CL vendor, too...

Heh... any other suggestions? I dropped them an email and got this in reply-
"That wheel only comes in a 5x112 and 5x120, Lexus is 5x114.3

^LOL - that's completely wrong information. Try Performance Nissan (mynismo.com) toll free at 1-866-211-7389, and ask for Andy Kim.

About to head outta town for a few days but will give them a try when I get back, hopefully they're a bit more cluefull than the MVP guys
Anyone have a recommendation for the best width/offset to go with in 18s on these? (sport suspension, no plans whatsoever to lower it further)
