1st maxima with 350Z track editions?
Just some quick pics I took. These are two rears that I put on for kicks. Will eventually run 4 fronts. But a 4-5-6-gen could run a staggered setup if they didn't mind having 2 diff sized dia tires.

I love the look of those on your car. Fits the overall look better than the G35's too, and of course much lighter and nicer. How much did u pay?

Thanks. Thought there would be more interest in forged oem Nissan wheels made by Rays.

I think they would look even better if they were powder coated (black, bronze, whatever) w/ a polished lip.

Any idea what they actually weigh?

The wheels are pretty cool, but i think the lack of interest is due to the car they're on. IMO, they don't go well together at all.

Odd statement. Why wouldn't 18x8 with 30mm offset forged wheels not go well with a 3-gen maxima. It's the perfect offset and size. Oh well

I had some extra lying around when I first bought my car. I put those on right when I brought my Maxima home.



The wheels look much better on your car.

Jeff, love the look on your 3rd gen. They don't look that good on a 5th gen, but then again, I'm a bit partial to the G's

Jeff- I know that both the 350z and G35 rims fit with the bbk, how were you able to get the center caps on? My G35s rears were the only ones that would allow me to leave the center caps on while the fronts wouldn't clear the axle.
Also by chance you have any idea what offsets we would need to clear the BBK with Cobra rotors?
BTW those rims are hot!!!

If you put the rears on the front u can clear but if you put the fronts on the front then the center caps won't fit.

G whees. Centercaps would pop out a bit. Z wheels. No problems at all. Offset needed is about 30mm BUT offset is not everything. Spoke design is just as important.

First 3rd gen, but Nismo_Star had them on his 5th gen since May time, I believe. A month ahead of you.

Width is different on the 17s G35s (Coupe): Fronts are 17x7.5 and rears are 17x8? something like that...
