Anyone seen these Nissan 18" Rims?

I know the new Z's have hyper silver 18" wheels, but this is the first I've seen of these wheels. Anyone have pics of them on their car or the new Z wheels?

Yep, it says so in the description, i.e. - knock offs

Those are replica G35 coupe wheels. The strange part is that the REAL G35 coupe wheels are 18x8, while these say that they're 18x7.5

for comparison's sake: the real G35 18x8's with real Nissan centercap

I bought the replica 01 SE wheels from them (all four) about 2 years ago now, and they are still going strong; looks just like the real thing, with the exception of having to paint the center circle with spray paint (they were all-silver). In any case, I went and picked up the wheels from them, took a look around, etc. They seemed like a legit operation to me, and the replicas are flawless!

(Picked up all four wheels from their warehouse in Sarasota for around $420, so the price looks right).

I could have sold you the real thing 18x8 with oem Michelin tires for $850+shipping.

I also had one replica SE 17 when I bent an OEM one. Couldn't tell the difference. Identical rim, identical weight.

these are not a total replica, though, as I mentioned above..since they are narrower than the real ones. If the offset on these "replicas" is 30mm with a 7.5" width, they will look perfect for the maxima though

Then you can just do like I did, and get the GXE wheel center caps (which fit) and lose those cheesy yellow ones.

They look sweet in my opinion and you can't beat the price go for it man I love those wheels! Irish's car looks great with those wheels and I'm sure sterling mist would look great too! I'm jealous wish I could afford them now!

I do still have them. But I need them for about 2 more weeks until I get my other set of 18s up and running.
