Are there any good sites to look at for aftermarket wheels for the 370Z?

z88m · 05-03-2009, 11:46 PM

I have challenged a NSW Nissan dealer if he can get me the 19" wheels from Japan/USA (don't care where) I will change dealers and he can have my order. I am not paying $75K for a sports car with crappy looking high profile wheels ...

And then there is the known engine oil overheating issue which could be a big problem here in Australia ... we shall see.

I just went to my local dealer and did a test drive. The dealer didn't know if he could get the 19s. Said it could be possible to order them from US/Japan but said they'd probably cost atleast 5k, without tires even! Does this sound right? I'm curious as to what the additional cost will be for the 19s. He's going to try to find out about it. Let me know how you go too.

Yikes! If your looking at 5k for a set of 19" Rays i think i'd rather go get a set of aftermarket 20's. Volks ofcourse.

Dunno how you guys have gone with the base price of the 370 but I got offered 73k then went down to 71k. Only been to 1 dealer though so far.

Have you guys seen this review?
Driver's Republic - Pure Zed 037

Some amazing photos of the Z!

Hey Ellz, are u in NSW and which dealer u go to. So far the highest is 79000, lowest 74500. so 71k is really good.

PS: what colour u prefer.

The dealer I spoke to said he will try to order from Japan through NIssan spare parts - he thought it will be alot cheaper than $6K. Have not heard back yet. We jus tneed to keep pressuring Nissan Australia and get them to throw a few sets on the next boat from Japan (or no sale) - it is not rocket science.

And yeah Drivers-republic are the guys that used to work for EVO Magazine so they drive hard.

370er · 05-04-2009, 10:28 PM

If we can get the 19s are the 18s subtracted from the overall price?

Are you guys getting manual or auto?

Ellz · 05-05-2009, 01:19 AM

I'm in Brisbane, Looking at getting a Black manuel Z. Should be getting a call back from the 2nd dealer in regaards to their price.

z88m · 05-05-2009, 07:09 AM

I don't know how to drive an auto.

JacksHereR · 05-05-2009, 07:23 AM

ffs how come australia gets it before uk? bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo

Indy · 05-05-2009, 08:38 AM

Was quoted $69k negotiable at one of the dealers in Melbourne after mentioning $72k from Bright Nissan (auto, drive away price).

jekel · 05-06-2009, 08:53 AM

Test drove it this week from Dandenon Nissan......is freakin awsome. Hopefully i can order one next month. Also asked about the 19's the guy wasnt sure, will try find out for me.

Ellz · 05-06-2009, 09:53 PM

Just got offered 74 for one, even after i said i can get one for 70 and they didn't wanna budge. "We got it in stock and we are located close to you"

tuan0011 · 05-06-2009, 10:15 PM

Honestly guys, you might as well get a set of 19" Rays Volk (and a set of wide-a55 tyres). Puny REAR 245x18 just doesn't do this car justice.

Your saving and your differentiating!

Z88M, are you trading in your RX8? If so, let me know how you go...I've got 120k on mine.
