Mythbusters: Does the Aus 2010 coupe come with 19"s?

Majestik · 03-15-2010, 05:31 AM

Hi all. I have heard and have read that only the roadster will
get 19"s.

What worries me is there doesn't seem to be any proof of 19"s coming for our 2010 coupe.

I can't find any definate proof on the net and even a scan of the latest brochure direct from Nissan yesterday shows me that only the Roadster has
em.

Has anybody got undeniable proof that there will be 19"s for the coupe standard, or has this hope just spawned from rumours and heresay?

Any proof would really make me feel better...

Hi, I'm adding a comment to spark some interest.

My comment is as follows:

No, not yet. All we know is that some people have ordered with the 19's but that's just dealer talk so far. Even though they probably are, Nissan hasn't released anything down on paper. When they do, I will curse them and hope they all suffer a scorching case of herpes. When they get down to their last herpe I'll then hope they get another 4.

No indisputable proof as such, but was at a dealership on the weekend and the salesman said that the 2010 coupes were coming with 19's. Until we get someone take delivery of a 2010 coupe I have a feeling that this will stay a myth that is plausible....

If I recall there are a few here that have purchased 2010's and are awaiting delivery.

Shouldn't they have it on their paperwork??

I mean, since that's what the dealers are telling them to make the sale...

Just make them put that as a special condition on the sale of car contract... I'm sure they'll go to greater lengths to make it happen if there is commission riding on it, rather than just plain dealership lies.

I find it suss that the specs say 18" for the coupe and some dealers are saying they will have 19". Usually the dealers know less than we do about the car and usually just refer to the specs. Who do you believe - some dealer or official specs? I know if I went to my dealer today asking about the wheels they would just refer to the specs.

My advice for 2010 coupe buyers is to make sure 19-INCH wheels are specifically written into the contract if that's what the dealer says is on offer. That way if in a few months you get your Z coupe with 18" wheels your dealer will be in trouble for giving false information and you will get your 19s

But I did say this a few times, I was told by my dealer the coupe has 18" std and you can buy the 19"'s (at parts prices) and have them installed.
Which I guess supports the new Nissan brochure.

Yeah that's what I would have thought, The 350z was exactly the same, the Rays rims were only available as an option. It was good in the early years but I had the 2006 which had the 18's on it which I thought were beter than the rays.... Actually sometimes I think they are better than the current 18's..... easier to wash too.

Look at my pic. It's a 2010 coupe with 19"

Yeah but in El Paso, we are waiting to see if they will release it in the Australian market because they haven't done so yet

Hey thanks. Normally I don't think much of rims that come with the car. But I like these enough that I find myself needed to get different ones
