I think those wheels look better than the nismo too bad the offset isn't very good. If you use spacers you have to use version 1.

Oh, look. A yellow-crested pteranodon!

^^^ Agreed! (No offence to the OEM Nismo guys). I was determined to ditch the "forked tongues", but getting wheels that would be, to me, a true upgrade (i.e., lighter, more aesthetically pleasing, not cost an arm, leg, and testicle) seemed beyond my humble means.

Found a GREAT deal on these! Cant wait to get them mounted!!!!

So.
Fvcking.
Excited.

(pathetic)

For OEM wheels, I really like these and would love to rock them on the Z. For once, Nissan did something right.

I like them much better than the weird OEM 19's --AND, they shed about 3 lbs off each corner :tup:

Next, some lighter AD08's... oooo... good times :excited:

I wouldn't say the 19s are weird lol, I think they are one of the best looking OEM wheels around. Congrats on the new wheels! They will look great once you get them mounted on the car, the wheels and tire should give you a nice decrease in rotating mass.

Cant wait for pics! Didnt take you long after that other thread we posted in to get some I see =) Congrats!

Stupid questions:

Where do I get a set?

Do they have different colors?

Don't get me wrong, I think they're cool looking, but I consider them more "unique" than "beautiful".

It's just an unusual looking wheel -- that is arguably a good thing, but I like my wheels to be a bit more traditional, I guess...

These are the "S-tune" Nismo wheels, and they are a bit different than the OEM Nismo ones (same width as the 19" Rays, a bit lighter, thicker spokes, painted Nismo logo rather than engraved). Attached pics below show how they differ (OEM vs S-tune, respectively).

You have to get these from the dealer -- there's another set on ebay right now for around 2 grand (I got these for less -- a sweet deal!!!!)

Pretty sure they only come in silver, but I suppose you could always get them painted any color you like.

I'll be interested to see how they look when you have them mounted. They look nice out of the box though.

Jordo! 04-02-2011 02:49 PM

^^^ I'll post loads of pics :D
