350Z Track Wheels on Max?

I really like the Rays Racing wheels that come on the track edition of the 350Z, does anyone know if they will be available to the general public and if so, about how much would one expect to pay for them? I'm looking for just the 18x8 fronts to be used all around. I imagine wheel spacers would be enough to fix any offset problem. Does anyone see a problem with this? Thanks for any info.

I don't think you need wheel spacers, since the wheels stick out more than the stock ones.

They will probably be stupidly expensive. I think 5th gen 17's are 600$ EACH! I would wait for knock-offs.

The only problem with buying a set from a Z is that the backs are 8.5 inches while the fronts are just 8 inches. I don't know if it would be a good idea to run two different widths on my car. I guess the real question is whether or not Rays Racing or Volk or whatever they go by will actually sell this rim themselves or is it made just for the Z? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

That would be weird because the Z is RWD. We are FWD.

The difference between 18x8 and 18x8.5 is very small, almost unnoticeable. Thing is, you can only rotate side to side. Price range will be from $1200 to $1600, roughly. Without tires!
