Has anybody heard about these wheels?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-Nissan-GTR-Style-Wheels-Metallic-Rims-Infiniti-G35-G37-G35X-G37X-M35-M45-FX-/321125829322?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item4ac4974aca&vxp=mtr
I have searched and searched and cannot find any pics of these on any vehicles so that's probably a hint but I was wondering if anyone was running these on their Max or if anyone had seen any pics with them on a car. I think these would look pretty slick on a 5th gen. I just always wonder if ebay wheels are as bad as some people make them out to be. Like are they that easy to crack?

Edit: I did just come across a pic of them on a 350z

I am still torn about what wheels to run myself... I have owned almost every nissan wheel available...

17" 6 spoke G35
18" 7 spoke G35 (coupe)
19" Rays G35
I think I am on my 4th set of 350z 18"
17" Enthus 350z
17" Maxima 5.5
17" Maxima 5th gen
17" Maxima 4th gen

I dont like the newer Maxi or G35 G37 wheels. I like 350z Toruing V1 (currently on the hunt of a set)

Either your trolling, or are smoking something lol. The ones in the link I posted above are 18X8.5 GTR replicas, the ones you are referring to are factory 20's...

So besides the 350z I posted above I have still yet to come across anyone else with these wheels so I'm probably not going to purchase them as I won't be sure of their strength/finish quality. I'm most likely going to be refinishing my G35C wheels in Nissan K11, which I've read is the color of the gunmetal GTR wheels. For example here is a pic of SmokinMaxSE's G35's that are painted K11:

I'd be very weary of buying any rim that is sold under "xxx-style" rim instead of a brand name. That's such a dumb decision.

Correct.

Knock offs are known to be crap. Don't even get me started on Varrstoen.
