Z at Melbourne Motor Show / Australian Specs

I have spoken and written to Nissan Australia a number of times on this subject. They have stated the 19" wheels will not be available at all. If enough of us potential buyers complain and refuse to purchase until they reverse this decision maybe they will change their mind.

Why include all sports options as standard - lsd, synchro rev match, bigger brakes - then hold back the option that will get you around corners faster. Those crappy 18s with yokahomo tyres (225/50 series!) will not stay with my current RX8 around the corners so why bother changing ;-)

That's horrible. There's always aftermarket wheels but really, come on Nissan!

This is so stupid, to not even have them as an option! The trouble is, who's complaining besides us? A lot of people are getting aftermarket wheels... but I had always planned to buy this car with the 19". Even when I first read the australian spec brochure and saw the 18" wheels I thought "surely Nissan will provide the 19s as an option". Who should I contact specifically? (PM me).

Thanks. I hadn't seen that video before. I wanted him to talk about why they packaged it with the 18" wheels instead
