I have a set of 350z 18 inchers for sale. They are not the track edition wheels but the ones that came on the performance model. The wheels are in very good condition as they were taken off the car at only 3000 miles. one of the wheels has minor curb rash but other than that in great shape. Local pickup in the NJ/NY area only. I need to move these since I don't have my Z anymore. Let me know if anyone is interested.

yeah, that's with tokico springs -- 3 finger gap

progress springs would yield a 2 finger gap, and that's what i wanted ideally.

but 1) too much damn work to undo everything just for an extra finger of reduced gap and 2) i'd be scraping way too much with the kit

i might've done it if i didnt' get the kit....

in fact, i recommend getting the Progress springs voer the tokico springs any day of the week..

thanks for the kind words btw

Does anyone have the g35 coupe wheels on their 4th gen? Better yet with the 300ZX BBK with 13" cobra rotors? Are spacers recquired?

If the wheels clear the bbk on a 3-gen, it will clear on a 4-gen. You just have to make sure they don't stick out too much due to the low offset. But lot's of guys run the G wheels on the 3,4,5 gens with no problems.

well...even though I'm a bit late, here you go:

G35 coupe 18's


also, here's the G35 coupe 17's (which I use for autocross and winter). I've seen these on a 4th gen, and they look really nice (and they look bigger on the 4th gen than on my 5th gen)

Those wheels are tight as heck man. I almost wanna send my 350 18's back and save for those wheels you got. I swear I can see what looks like the BMW checker thing on the center caps. Just my 'magination, I guess.

before tires were mounted I weighed both of them (and my stock SE 17's). My memory is a bit fuzzy, but as I recall:

SE 17's: 26.5 lbs
G35C 18's: 24 lbs
G35C 17's: 23 lbs

none of them are light, but I am more concerned about strong in this area, where we have alot of potholes. OEM rims tend to be much stronger than most aftermarket rims. Also I use my G 17's in the winter with snow tires on them

by the way, please note that even though they look almost the same, there are two different G35 17's. The coupe 17's are 17x7.5 (front) and 17x8 (rear) with a 30mm(f)/35mm(r) offset, while the G35 sedan 17's, which look almost the same, are 17x7 with a 40mm offset....

what your are seeing are these:



I replaced the Infiniti center caps with caps off of 2000 GXE maxima 16's, which I painted black and silver....
