I realize my car is always tilted to the left after a while. I did alignment, balancing and changed coilovers but is still happening.
I asked the ex owner and he said is due to the replica rims. Is it true? I am considering buying original TE37 but i dont wish to splurge so much money and yet the problem still arise.

Just need to know is it common that replica rims caused the car to be off balance and tilt. Thanks!
I don't see how the wheels could be the cause and the car still be driveable. In other words the only way the wheels could be to blame are they are not round any more, which would cause an insane level of wobble (that is if by some magic the tires were still holding air). The wheels are the least likely suspect in my opinion.

If it's on coilovers you might need to adjust the corners to help level the car completely. The right way to do it would be to take it to a shop that can corner balance, but you can get real close to balanced if you are just patient in the adjustments (i.e. you are willing to raise the car and lower it, adjust the coils incrementally, measure fender height with a ruler over and over, etc). I did it in my garage, took my car in to get cornerbalanced, and the guy didn't charge me since he said he basically adjusted one coilover a couple of turns.

If it's not on coilovers you might want to have it checked out by a body shop to see if the frame is still "square"

edit: maybe sway bar binding...not sure how prone to that the 370z is. i have never read/heard of anyone having problems. so i would put that low on the list of suspects as well.
