They don't look bad at all, almost looks stock. (Meaning that those are what the wheels should've looked like all along)

Looks very stock. What are you replacing? For the price you can't beat it with a stick! You saved 500.00 or more over aftermarket rims.

Price is awesome, great start!

...but did you confirm that it wouldn't work with any of the more senior members of the forum...? Sounds to me like you got some bogus advice.

Who told you they wouldn't work? A lot of guys here have the G35 wheels and the specs on the Z wheels are the same as the G35s.

Anyways, Nice lookin wheels.

thanks guys, they are very different from the 04 max rims, the max rims have a flat front on them, the 350z rims are curved all around. and to the guy who asked what im replacing, im replacing the stock 17's that came on the 02 se model

Bug Bite.....did you have to use spacers or anything like that. I have an "02 Maxima as well and am looking to get either the 18" 2005 Maxima Rims or the 180" 350Z rims. Just want to know what kind of spacers if any need to be inserted. Also, and this goes out to everyone...where can you get the best prices for these stock 18" Nissan Rims I am looking for (I've tried to create posts on this topic and on many other topics but the forum doesn't allow me to...maybe I don't have enough posts yet..I have no clue)

no spacers at all, the off set on these 350 rims are bigger than the stock ones so they actually stick out of the wheel well alot more, the post problem is i think you need atleast 15 post to create a thread. if you want me to i will post a thread in the 6th gen forum for rims, actually im gona do that now so look for a new thread by bugbite77 about rims around the same time i replyed to this.

The offset is perfect at 30mm, you will nto need any spacers. You can find a set of these rims on ebay if you look hard enough:

like me

Yeah, whoever told you it wouldn't work didn't know what he was talking about......the only issues have been with the OEM rear tires rubbing a little bit if they are the 245/45/18 size....

as to the wheels....I've never been a big fan of them, but if you like them, that is ALL that matters!

One thing I WOULD suggest though is to lower the car a bit....bigger rims make it look like the wheel gap is even bigger....

i would love to lower it but my #1 thing holding me back is voiding the warranty. the reason i bought this car is if anything goes wrong, i want it fixed 4 free, if the tranny goes, i dnt want them sayin, oops, lowered suspension fed up the trany, no free tranny.

well basically, with the warranty, they have to PROVE that an AM part caused the malfunction....so what, besides the suspension components, could the new springs/shocks damage?

i work ar a resturante and a usual at the bar had a 350Z with aftermarket rims on it, i asked him if he had the stock ones still and he said yes, so i asked him how much he wanted for them, and he said $100, WITH TIRES. they were curbed up a lil so i had them rewelded and painted for $350 more, still not a bad deal.
