Seems too cheap for 18x9s. I'd be leary of their quality.

And AAS sucks. Buy from someone else.

$80 for an 18x9 rim? I'd feel safer bolting wagon wheels to my car.

Also, I can guarantee you that the offsets are terrible.

Don't go cheap on rims. Not that cheap at least. If you want that design, get some G35 Rays 19s. If you're on a budget, Enkei and Rota (and many other somewhat reputable brands) have decent selections.

wholesale on rims is pretty cheap, $80 18" doesnt surprise me. but if its the quality you are worried about, order them thru a big company like discount tire. discount will match any price(theyll take that $80, then add in shipping, and thats what the price will be thru the store), then if they end up out of round or wobbly, let the store warranty/refund them.

when i was working in the business, i got my 22s(they are on truck, not maxima) for like 100 each

Buy used set of the real ones. I use only OEM wheels from other Nissans/Infinities on my cars.

how can they be 18" like that and not be able to clear BBK's?

The offset isn't enough (+45) and the spokes don't really curve out much to provide clearance, at least, from what I can tell from the pics.

I never thought of it that way. I only put thought into the diameter of the wheel and clearance issues. Never thought about the concave or convex of the wheel, or offset for that matter playing a role in BBK installations

Yeah you'd be surprised at how many 18" wheels there are out there on the market that don't fit with BBKs. I only learned that from time spent lurking on other forums like the Z/G, EVO, and NASIOC forums.
