ESR SR08 unboxing

Specs:
ESR SR08
18x9.5 +22
18x10.5 +22
Hyper Black
I'm very happy with the quality of these wheels, the paint finish is great and the wheel has a very high quality feel, even though it is a rep wheel. I'm using this wheel on my 350Z which is essentially a weekend cruiser. And ESR has a lifetime structural warranty (and 1 yr paint warranty) so I'm not worried about using a rep wheel.
Weight: (using a bathroom scale)
fronts (18x9.5) = 25 lbs
rears (18x10.5) = 26 lbs
(stock 350z 18" wheels = 26 lbs)
so the weight is the same as the stock wheels, which isn't bad since the fronts are 1.5" wider and the rears are 2" wider than stock.

It's in the description, +22. Thanks, I'm going to subscribe to watch to see if you've post the project.

[@hondaj32]

sweet I was looking for a video and they look great in person.. can't wait for mines to come in

[@benstoys8724]

Yeah, I couldn't find any videos when I was looking at these, so I figured I'd make one. Glad you like the video...you'll love the wheels, very high quality.

[@benstoys8724]

+hondaj32 I just got them installed this past weekend. I'm so happy with the wheels, though I wish I had gone with a 285 rear tire instead of the 275 that I got. It looks good, but I would like a slightly meatier look.

[@MrSardonycus]

Nice video. Those wheels are gorgeous. I'm getting the same wheels only 19's and silver colored for My Genesis Coupe. Should be delivered in a few hours- can't wait. Wish I went with your color black tho. I ordered mine from unleashed as well.

[@benstoys8724]

Thanks. Check my other videos, I have one video that has the wheels mounted on the car.

[@MrSardonycus]

Already watched it yesterday hehe. Really wanted to see what they looked like on your car. Nice video and your car looks awesome.

[@benstoys8724]

+Don Anderson thanks!

[@gravity718]

These are dope!!!

[@benstoys8724]

gravity718 yeah, they look good on the right car...I didn't care for them once they were on my Z.

[@Wsupjoe]

Sweet video

[@benstoys8724]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@benstoys8724]

+Joseph Giao thanks!

[@Blanco_SubieForester]

What kind of 🐕 is that? Looks cool.

[@73asbwoods]

What's the offset of the 9.5 and 10.5? What kind of vehicle are you putting them on?

[@13anomalous16]

Did you get these directly from ESR shipped to your house? If so how? I'm trying to get SR01s but apparently they only ship directly to customers if you order a powder coat finish.

[@benstoys8724]

Got them from unleashedwheels.com

[@KtuluLeaderRise]

How much was it for all four ??

[@hondaj32]

make a video with the wheels on

[@benstoys8724]

+hondaj32 I will once the weather gets nicer in Wi...just got a bunch of snow today.

[@hondaj32]

+Ben R sweet can't wait to see it on

[@JamesLikesDonuts]

Are these the same specs as the stock wheels? I'm not very knowledgable with wheels. If they're not the same specs, do you know the specs of the stock ones? I've got an 06 350z as well

[@benstoys8724]

These are much more aggressive than the stock wheels. The stock wheels are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear, and I think the offsets are in the mid 30s...These are 1.5" wider in the front and 2" wider in the rear with a lower offset (+22). But these fit my Z with no problems and no rubbing (stock suspension), lowered Zs may have do stretched tires, run camber arms or roll fenders, just depends on what height you have the car at.

[@JamesLikesDonuts]

Thanks man! Yeah, I like the look of your set up with these wheels. Mines stock suspension so I'll probably be getting the same size you got. Just followed you on instagram so can't wait to see what else you have in store for the car since we have the exact same ones

[@jaymarkdecenabringino3090]

Is it size 18 or 19 ?

[@andrewherron9972]

how's the quality on the ESR's? any problems with them?

[@benstoys8724]

Andrew Herron I only had these for a couple months and then I sold them. They seem to be built pretty well and the quality was OK but I just didn't care for the style once I got them on my car.

[@YouhanY]

I want to get the 18x8.5 30 How concave will they be ?

[@benstoys8724]

Not very concave at all...my 18x9.5 +22s have very slight concavity and with an inch narrower and 1/3" less offset, its gonna be not concave at all....but that all depends on wheel design and manufacturer.

[@YouhanY]

+Ben's 350z thanks for replying so fast I was wondering if they were concave. If they are anything like the 9.5 in the video, it won't fill my satisfaction. Thanks again.

[@iBrandoFlakes]

Whats the size of the center bore of these rims?

[@benstoys8724]

73.1

[@iBrandoFlakes]

+Ben R where did you buy these from? I been searching for my bmw, but I need a center bore of 72.6

[@benstoys8724]

+Brando my Z center bore is less than 73.1. You just have to buy hub-centric rings. I got the wheels from unleashedwheels.com and I got aluminum hub rings from eBay.

[@iBrandoFlakes]

+Ben R ohh I understand now, thank you!

[@BaronvonShotgun]

How much was it per wheel?

[@benstoys8724]

+Jeremy Balce they were $650 for the whole set. I got mine from unleashedwheels.com.

[@Zach3.0tt]

They don't look black to me

[@benstoys8724]

Zach214_ the color they call it is Hyper Black. Just like XXRs call theirs Chromium Black, or some call theirs Black Chrome. It's like a glossy gunmetal.

[@jamesbacio4349]

these look like my work emotion kiwami

[@benstoys8724]

James Bacio but a fraction of the cost.

[@jamesbacio4349]

still look boss. mines are white, but that color looks sweet aswell.

[@benstoys8724]

James Bacio once they were on the car I didn't care for them, so I got wheels with a deep lip instead. The lip gives it a more aggressive look, IMO. I ended up selling these to a guy with an RX8.

[@jamesbacio4349]

I got mine with tires from my mechanic friend for 900 so that's a steal...tires are stretched as fuck tho lol oh well low life... I have always wanted some nice avant garde wheels.

[@ubemememe]

What Tires and Sizes did you use?

[@benstoys8724]

255/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear. Next time I get tired I will do 285/40/18. Check out @black350z on IG for up to date pics.

[@ubemememe]

+Ben R One more question. What did you end up using for lugnuts?

[@ubemememe]

+Mike Lovell By the way. Car looks good!

[@ubemememe]

+Ben R Thanks. I ordered a set of the SR08's and will look into the tuner lugs. You wouldn't have the part # would you?

[@ubemememe]

+Ben R Great. Thanks.
