Wheel Question

I have a 2000 I30t, and one of my factory rims (touring 17" style) is bent. I have found a wheel that looks just like mine on ebay but it is for a '00 Q45. So my question is this, can i replace my rim w/ the Q45 rim. Please help me out.

also before I posted this, i went in the FAQ thread and found out that they are both 17x7 but the diffrence is that my wheel is 45mm and the q45 is 30mm. I have no idea what the mm is for, anyone can help?

a 15mm offset is too big of a difference, it won't work

ebay is about the only place I could think finding one wheel at decent price. You might try going a google search to see if your make and model wheel is made by any of those "replica" wheel companies. They make pretty good knock-offs and half the price of dealer costs. But I assume you have already tried that.

Actually, you could go with a 15mm difference and get 15mm spacers for the rest of the rims, but then your spending $150 on spacers to replace one wheel

you can get your rim repaired... for like 100$.. well thats how much it is here in Ny.. ahh also if your talking about the rims that are shaped like a star... then they are interchangeable .. cause the 00 infi i30 and the q45 came with teh same rims.. well teh t models did anyway...
