Shout out to FB Nissan!
 
Well, I bit the bullet and ordered a set of 2014 Nismo wheels from FB Nissan! Quick communication and the LOWEST price I could get anywhere. They actually gave my the the time of day being a Canadian customer. I contacted Fontana Nissan via posting in their sponsor section and by PM and they flat out ignored me and didn't bother even responding back to me by either PM or thread post. :icon14: whatever, their loss. Other sponsors either didn't ship up here or were higher in price. Can't wait for my wheels! Thanks FB Nissan!!

Agreed. Jomer is the man! He used to text me to provide real time update on my shipment. Great communication and awesome customer service! :tup:

Possibly Fred Beans. They have received several other thumbs-ups on this site.

I'm not sure, his price was an all in shipped price which was better than the other guys shipped prices. I think it may have worked out to be $150 area to Edmonton

how much did you pay for the wheels?

A little over $1800 USD I'll still have to pay brokerage and duty on top when they land. So all in it will probably be around $2500 CDN

Zbrah 11-24-2015 11:20 PM

^ May I ask when did you order this? It seems the price just dropped significantly from a few months ago when I asked Jomer.

Just last week. Keep in mind the gunmetal nismos are much cheaper than the silver in case you were looking at silver. FYI, I've been looking for a while and they have always been around that price since ive been looking which has been over the past year.

~37oZ~ 11-25-2015 01:28 AM

I hope my TPMS sensors fit the new wheels!

Yeah, I plan to use the old TPMS units but I'm not sure if they will fit. I know 2013-2014 is a different part number for sensors however, the change up may not have anything to do with the fitment of the sensors but more the frequency the 2013+ cars are using. I'll keep you guys posted.

Unfortunately the car is in storage for the winter season so I may not get to install till spring, however I may get adventurous and install them in the garage anyway.:tup:

Yeah, to beat the Nismo wheels for performance (weight) and IMO looks I'll have to spend $5000+ for a set

Zbrah 11-25-2015 02:14 PM

Yup, Nismos are excellent wheels for the money. The only downside is I don't want to run spacers anymore :rolleyes:

mults 11-25-2015 02:39 PM

Got my Berk's CBE and HFC from Jomer...best price and great service too!!!

~37oZ~ 12-01-2015 11:37 PM

Jomer is the man! If there was any doubt before on where to order parts, FB Nissan had a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal where the wheels worked out to be a little cheaper than I originally paid him for and guess what? He credited back the difference to my Visa! Got them for a hair under $1800 shipped! Thanks Jomer!!! PS: can't wait for the wheels to get here Friday! Too bad it's winter...... :(

zcarspirit 12-02-2015 11:12 AM

I paid 2000 something for the wheels from another vendor. u got the best deal bro!!!

I used UPS for my shipping too .. it was very well protected.!!!

Maybe they did not pack the wheels well!

Zoren 370 12-05-2015 02:26 AM

Whats the best way to pack the wheels? Suggestions please.

Only ONE of my wheels came with the extra card board like yours. The rest looks the same. Funny thing is, the one with the extra protection is the damaged wheel.

~37oZ~ 12-05-2015 12:16 PM

ARRRGH just realized I need center caps and they seem to be like $60-70 each. FML. What else is there for options?

Did you pay any duties and taxes?

You should have center caps on your stock 370z wheels. Those are the ones to be used.

I can almost gurantee that Canada Customs opened the box for inspection and most likely damaged the wheel. It will be next to impossible to pin the damages on them and I am certain that they will not cover any damages.

Oh I know some idiot over there is to blame, however I hope Jomer can make a claim and UPS covers it. The UPS guy delivering the wheels was being, how do I say....less than gentle when even dropping off my wheels.

Sorry, not duty but brokerage and GST. Thanks! I'll check it out. Anyone know if we can get "Z" center caps?

~37oZ~ 12-07-2015 10:55 AM

SOOOOO I'm Screwed. Jomer was fired/Quit or something and FB said "I don't know what to do...we will look into it".......FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I posted in your other thread, I wouldn't jump straight to the conclusion that you are "screwed"

Good luck getting this resolved.
