NISMO USA to release LM-RS6 wheel

Car is dirty. Ignore that.

Decided to pick these up for my OEM+ build. Trying to keep everything strictly Nissan/Nismo parts wherever feasible, and didn’t want to go with aftermarket wheels. I don’t really like the spokiness of the other Nismo options, so I landed on the LM-RS6.

Specs are:
F: 18x9.5 +35 on 275/40/18
R: 18x10.5 +22 on 295/40/18

I went back and forth on the offsets a bunch, was worried these wouldn’t be aggressive enough, but I’m really happy with the choice I made! Perfect fitment for OEM+, IMO. I went pretty aggressive on the tires, but I much prefer the meaty look over the stretched and tucked look.

The only bummer is they are HEAVY. Didn’t get a chance to weigh them, but they felt noticeably heavier than the stockers. It’s too bad they didn’t do a forged version in this wheel style. But it’s not a track rat, so who cares…

looks nice. Really like those center caps also- are those universal fit for all the Nismo wheels?

you made the right choice. if you are gonna go with a 18" I like the meaty more old school look

Not sure if the centercaps will fit other wheels. I didn’t order them separate (they came with the wheels), so they may be made specifically for the LM-RS6.

Decided to dip the wheels silver since most wheels are black these days and it’s not really my thing. It’s crazy that 90% of wheels only come in dark colors anymore. I was planning on powder coating them, but I figured I’d try the dip first to make sure I like it.

They definitely pop now, and the brighter color makes them look about an inch bigger. I really like the contrast, but we’ll see if I’m still digging it and want to commit to powder when the dip starts to peel.

Very sharp! I’m with you. If I were to replace my stock wheels, they’d be silver. That said, I’m not all that dissatisfied with the stock 5 spoke wheels on my Sport. They’re not terribly dark but they’re dark enough to blend in with the grime and dust from driving so I’m not constantly cleaning them.

I honestly really like the sport wheels a lot! But in my case they matched the Gun Metallic paint color almost exactly and I prefer to have contrast with my wheels. If I had ended up with any other color, I’d probably still be rocking them. They look really good on your red!
