Wheel and maker?
 
I tried a search but came up empty. Does anyone know who makes the blackened 18" wheel for the 2015 Z base coupe? Can they be purchased through an outlet or only Nissan? Thanks in advance.

You might be able to find a decent amount of base wheels for sale on this forum in the Parts for Sale section.

did you curb yours? if so id get that repaired vs buying new.. not worth the price imo.

instead id get some nismo wheels if u want to keep oem.

Are you looking for a replacement or just want black wheels?

Inspector71 02-08-2016 03:17 PM

They are A
 
I don't need them myself. Someone else I know was interested in them for her car. Mine are fine and I haven't curbed them...yet. I was wondering if it was possible to run down the manufacturer and determine if they make this wheel in other sizes for another car. Sorry for the confusion

These wheels are marked Nissan only, no manufacturer information.

I read somewhere that 80% of OEM wheels for many car builders are manufactured by the same company somewhere in the far East.

I thought base 18s were by enkei. Or was that the spare?

Yes, 18" OEMs are made by Enkei. Mine are stamped, but can't remember exactly where.

cooltoy 02-08-2016 06:28 PM

Wheels B are Enkei, OP is asking about A?

Thanks, cooltoy. My bad. I didn't read the posts thoroughly enough.

cooltoy 02-08-2016 06:36 PM

OP was very sneaky about it. It's in the title of his last post. Took me a few passes to pick it up.

Nothing to be sorry about.

So, we are not sure?
 
Who makes this wheel? Also, would this blackened wheel have been standard on the base model? I checked on ebay and a new set goes for close to $2K and I was surprised Nissan would put them on a base model. I didn't like the black look at first but they have grown on me. I plan to add a rear spoiler and FI catback in the late spring but otherwise, leave it stock. I love the way this car was optioned. Cheap radio, no electric seats, and no nav which drove me nuts. Pure driving fun.

These are not a standard on a coup, prior to 2013 these wheels were an option one could order. Originally they came in chrome. They are also standard on non sport convertibles.

As I mentioned they are stamped "Nissan" in the visible area.

You can find a set for around $800 if you search the web.
