Opinions please... are these real?

What do you guys think of these? Are they real OEM or are they just saying that. Do you think they are heavy and do you think it will clear a 5 gen with no rubbing?

Let me know. Thanks

$300 for all four? LOL

rip-off, do you have any idea how much OEM rims go for even with a discount? Even re manufactured OE rims go for $200-300 each.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

But for the price, thats really cheap even for aftermarket OEM replicas.

I wonder why the center cap is not included, though.

Its interesting that you ask this because I am debating on buying some g35 18's from this .same company
http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/w_selec...RSKU=ALY73672U

Any thoughts on these? They seem fairly legit to me, i'm pretty sure most of their wheels are oem that are refurbished

Yes - they do look legit to me.. Probably light...
The seller is top rated, read the reviews and see if anyone has commented on the sellter's honesty.

"Most of our wheels are direct factory replacements where the factory center caps and lugs will fit. We do not carry these parts to help keep the cost of the wheels down. Also, it is actually illegal to include a logo branded center cap with an aftermarket replica wheel, this is considered copyright infringement, and the fines are VERY high."

Did you not notice that line?

"18" Nissan Altima Alloy Wheels Brand New OEM Set of 4" ~ Ebay Link from OP...

Are they true OEM - heck no... Are they really good knock offs - yeah.

Course does come into question the quality of the material used to make the rim...

If a member here gets a set maybe a right up - 3 month follow up would help to tell the tale...
