Want to be serious about souping up the Mada?? Here you go, found out they are available for our rides to replace our stock wheels. 17 pounds per rim in a 18 inch for our rides. Was told the wheels have been put on 2 wheel drive Titans, but not the Armada's yet. Will hold the strenghth of our rides. Magnesium forged are 12 pounds in the 18 inch rim. http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/425# Rims have been backorderd for 3 months and the style has been around for years.

I had 3 sets of wheels from this manufacture their awesome and the strongest wheels I ever bought but 18" on the armada does not looks too good. just my two cents

Those are nice wheels and good quality but I too don't think it's gonna look good with the MADA. My 2 cents also.:D

Interesting .. a lot of Z's are running the VolkTE37s .. I've seen 'em on z31s too. Hmmm .. switch to TE37s for may Z (17s) .. then get 'em for the Mada (20s)??
LOL ...

The Contis on our trucks weights 42 LBS so that means the rim only weights about 32+LBS

how positive are you??
im going off what you posted ealier that our tire combo weights 74.3lbs and i know from the manufacture spect that the contis weight 42 Lbs so really positive if my math does not fail me.
.....also Tire Rack has the Contis listed as weighing 42 lbs.

According to Tire Rack, it looks like the Michelins are a bit lighter.

20 lbs a tire is a huge savings for weight. Put ligher smaller diameter tires on and you would fly. ;)
