Not much stock rims look like the 370z sport wheels so I'm guessing not much people think they are stock. Its just us 370z owners freaking ourselves out thinking people will know.

Ya... I get a bunch of ppl asking what kind of rims they are and where I got them. They find it hard to believe that they are stock.

As a professional powdercoated who doesn't do wheels, I'm torn at what to tell you. If someone besides me is doing them, then yes, definitely, but wheels are so ethnic I hate to do so I only do them for myself.
