Optional JDM Chrome Accessory Wheels

Unless they were made of some space age moon metal that only weighed 5 lbs each, I wouldn't pay that much.

In my personal opinion,,,, Those are not for my taste and even worst,,, the aprox, $4K price... nah nah nah.
I think that $4K is way to expensive for a set of rims coming from a factory optional package, lets be specific... Coming from Nissan to a 370z stock. It can be said that it will be somewhat, competitive with aftermarket, as example, rims like Volk, or if you go more "pimp"... Giovannas ( which in average, the cost more), but anyway, for me, they are not that good looking set of chrome shoes.
For me, the best looking rims are the 19" Rays that comes withe the Sport Package, stock. But again, that's my personal opinion.

^^^ They wouldn't be strong enough. But making a rim in carbon fiber WOULD be a good idea. Or Carbon Fiber/Titanium Alloy. That would be the best.

Funny, I like those rims, and I also think they'd look good in charcoal or gunmetal - but...not for $4300...or even half that...lol

Link above says they are polished forged aluminum...so, not chrome.

And the price isn't that bad - that plus some rubber...might be worth while...lol

I don't know why I never posted this pic. This is from many months ago, last summer.

A yellow Z with those rims was parked in my neighbor's driveway at my former apartment complex. The wheels don't photograph well -- they look better in person for sure. I still think the OEM Rays looks 100x better.
