Snapped up some Nismo Rays
Got them here in the classifieds from Dual007. Incredible guy to buy from.
They've been on for a couple of days now, I'm really enjoying them.

The arrived packaged up tight.
Got lucky to find some (with tires) at a reasonable price, in great condition.

Great looking wheels. May I say that's the nicest looking 6th gen I've seen. Leave it as is. Btw I have the same grilled color matched as well. Also btw I'm going to go wash my car right now.

Your whip and those wheels were meant to be together. Flawless flow.

Thanks guys, honestly I really like my chrome wheels while I had them, (old school I guess), it's what I grew up. But I am gotta say I am really feelin these wheels glad I just bit the bullet and did it.

Thanks bro, that's a huge compliment, I plan to leave it pretty much as is.
Got a Nismo badge coming for the grille.

That exactly what I think it's about, the flow and theme. So I really appreciate that compliment.

Not sure, but they are definitely 19's.

I agree BUT, I don't really care for the Stillen front bumper that much, the rear I wouldn't mind having. This year it was body parts or wheels. I got lucky and went with wheels.

You're on the money with that, next big project would be a conversion to an 07 front bumper, probably go with the Hybrid bumper. Maybe next year.

Thanks, yeah we decided it would be worth it to spend a little more and go with an upgrade on the door vs a white vinyl. About an extra grand, two years ago.

Those wheels look really nice. I also like how they appear to have been shipped in proper wheel boxes, too.

245/40 - 19"
I got the wheels boxed brand new from the Nissan service dept. in MD in the fall of '08 (super cheap!). I had been sitting on them until last last year and decided to install em.
