I recently replaced my 18" rims with some 350z 18" rims. I think the look is 100% better than the previous rims and the 30 offset really looks nice on the 5th gen. Please check out the pics below for the new and improved look.

Very nice! Looks really good.

 

Looks good man. 350z style wheels look bigger than other 18" wheels must just be the sytle. Looks tight!

 

Me likey! How much/where did you get them from?

 

$300 from ebay...

 

what a steal!

 

looking good pal.

 

Ahh.. It's so nice to see more and more people ditching their bulky looking chrome wheels, only to cross over to the choice looking wheels from the 350z, 6th gen Max, etc.

It looks awesome.

 

Or were stolen before sold.

 

are those 350Z rims and the 18" 04 SE rims basically the same? or very close?

 

to me, it looks like the spokes are thicker on the 6th gen than the Z...it could just be me though...

 

Maxima 04 rims have a slightly flared spoke then the Z rims.

 

The guy I bought them from worked at a Nissan dealership in Virginia, but I do not know the story behind them.

 

Well, good catch. I wish I could buy me a set.

 

So do you have 4 REAR Z wheels then? or are the 4 FRONT wheels?

 

The Z wheels he has are all one size, 18X8. The Z just uses different size tires front and rear.

 

Just like the G35...same rims different tires front and rear.

 

True. Even though they are stamped Front and Rear the offset is the same as well as the rim size 18 x 8.

 

I think it just takes a little time, it took me about three months to catch this auction. Keep your eyes peeled and a good deal may come to you.

Here is one, but I question the sizing he claims they are 18.5 x 8.5

Here is a San Diego area only auction at a great price.

Your best bet is to buy some that do not come with tires.

 

I knew they were the same width, but I always thought they had different offsets front/back. Hmm...now I just wonder if these would clear BBK...

 

Just from looking and not taking any actual measurements, I think they would easily clear BBK.

 

jeez this makes me want to buy these rims...i wonder if they would look good on a black max

 

I think they look very similar to my 6th gen SE's. Nice job, they look great!

 

THanks for the props everyone. I saw these on another maxima and thought they looked sick, I just had to get em.

 

wow...these look almost as good as the G35C's!!! (if not as good) and DAMN what a good price!! was it 300 shipped?? I wish i could find a local seller so that i wouldnt have to pay shipping costs...i live in SA also, maybe i'll see you on the road some time..

 

looks nice love the 350z look

 

heres some more info on the rims http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/Wheels_and_Tire.php

Also, like brett said , looking at the rims it appears that a BBK would clear easily with the rims.

brett what size tirs you put on them?

 

Looks good Brett... I personally prefer the G35C rims, but these look great too...

 

looks pretty good, especially with the drop.
what size tires are you using?

 

they look real nice, i was looking at them too. man good choice on those rims. looking at those make me wanna get them. do they rub when you have people in the back?

 

Man, I checked out your CD Page...your car went from what was he thinking?


to:






what a differance taking off those chromies and painting your grill made.

Clean max!

 

looks great for a great deal. nice job!

 

225/48/18 - these are the tires that I had on the other 18's. When it is time for a change I may switch to 245/40/18.

 

No rubbing when by myself and no rubbing with my wife and 3 year old in the back going over speed bumps.

 

I was thinking about doing that as well. I think it looks really sharp.

 

Man. Wow. I like.

I can't even write a complete sentence. They look awesome. This may be my new favorite Max rim. I love rims that improve looks but don't scream "aftermarket". IMHO, these may even be a better match for the Max design than the G35 rims which appear to have a bit too much offset on some pics I've seen...though they both look excellent so I'm splitting hairs here.

Great catch!

 

I 2nd that....If only the 350z rims were polished!

Not Fair! I wish I can put my rims on! They are brand new and have been sitting in the basement for 3 months! and with the looks at our weather, they may be down there for much longer than I wanted.

 

they definately look good. Do they stick out farther than the 04 se rims?

 

Can anyone confirm that the 350Z wheels are the same offset for the front and rear wheels. I know the tire size is different, but I thought the offset was as well.

 

man, that looks really nice, the off set makes the wheels stick out just right.

My only gripe with the 350z wheels is that they're just a tad too heavy for me...I'm savin up for some light weight ssr competitions, only 16 lbs (and thats for an 18")
