noone has an opinion? I know the pic isn't the greatest in the world, but I'd really like some feedback as to what you think about them and how they would look on my car. thanks

They are 18x8 Forged and light. Staggered tire sizes. 30mm offset. Been there Would look great on your car IMHO. Not everyone likes them though. But screw them.

The wheels on the Z are the OEM Rays Track Editions. These are the Alt Rivals: If you look closely, they are not the same. And the Alts aren't forged. If these wheels are the ones you are truely looking for, then I'd look elsewhere. Plus 7.5" is too narrow IMHO

actually you are wrong as stated above the pic you posted was a track edition Z with track edition rays FORGED wheels. Not cheapo 18x7.5s, if you like them great why does anyone elses opinion matter?

well, the site that was selling the wheels is where that pic came from, so I guess they are wrong too then. The reason I ask opinions, is because I wanted to know what some other peoples thoughts were on the subject. I kinda like them, but I have seen alot more that I like alot better. The reason I was giving these a chance, is because there is a good deal on them going on right now for $430. But I believe I will wait until I can find some that I know I like instead of going the cheap way. thanks for you opinions guys.

in that case

If you want to get wheels identical to the 350z track editions, get the real ones, which are (as Jeff mentioned) FORGED and LIGHTWEIGHT. The ones you are talking about (for that price) are CAST and probably heavy as hell. With wheels, you get what you pay for most of the time. Cheap wheels are heavy and often not very strong.

They look good though...but i would search the Z forums for the REAL THING, personally.
