ITT, I get new wheels!
So I've been debating on wheels and other such stuff ever since I learned how much of a tax refund I was getting. I've been scouring the local Craigslist for a few days trying to find something that I like and within my budget. Get home from work last night and I spot the wheels I want. Call the guy and he says they've only been up for an hour and he's gotten tons of calls already. "I'm on my way!"

Here's what I picked up:


The guy had them listed for $350, I get there and offered him $300 and he took it. They're the forged Rays from the G35. Fronts are 19x8 +30 and the rear are 19x8.5 +33. They fit AMAZING.

Yeah, they fit damn near perfect too. Guy said he had gotten like 15 calls and they'd only been up for about 30 minutes when I called and said I was on my way.

Straight as an arrow when I balanced them myself. None took over 1.25 ounces of weight. Besides, if you can bend a forged wheel without causing SERIOUS damage to the rest of the car, you deserve a medal and/or a cookie.

Light rash on the passenger side but there are a ton of wheel repair places around here that can handle it. Also considering a gunmetal poweder coat.

It came with 3 somewhat usable tires but they're on their way out so I'm going to be replacing them anyways.

Maybe you'll get lucky like I did. I was actually already talking to a guy about a set of 350z Touring v2 wheels and I spotted these. Glad I did.

How do I know if my wheel bearing is bad or if it's both my bearing and hub?
