Yes you are correct. Here is a video of them making wheels. This is the same way the SportLine T.E.6 wheels are made.

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a 2009 370z Coupe.
It was on Replica TE37 running on 19Inch PSS P0
I realize my car is always tilted to the left after a while. I did alignment, balancing and changed coilovers but is still happening.
I asked the ex owner and he said is due to the replica rims. Is it true? I am considering buying original TE37 but i dont wish to splurge so much money and yet the problem still arise.

Just need to know is it common that replica rims caused the car to be off balance and tilt. Thanks!

I don't see how the wheels could be the cause and the car still be driveable. In other words the only way the wheels could be to blame are they are not round any more, which would cause an insane level of wobble (that is if by some magic the tires were still holding air). The wheels are the least likely suspect in my opinion.

If it's on coilovers you might need to adjust the corners to help level the car completely. The right way to do it would be to take it to a shop that can corner balance, but you can get real close to balanced if you are just patient in the adjustments (i.e. you are willing to raise the car and lower it, adjust the coils incrementally, measure fender height with a ruler over and over, etc). I did it in my garage, took my car in to get cornerbalanced, and the guy didn't charge me since he said he basically adjusted one coilover a couple of turns.

If it's not on coilovers you might want to have it checked out by a body shop to see if the frame is still "square"

edit: maybe sway bar binding...not sure how prone to that the 370z is. i have never read/heard of anyone having problems. so i would put that low on the list of suspects as well.

why don't you just go back to OEM. Or have a buddy jack his car up borrow his wheels and go for a drive?

I'm honestly a firm believer in non-reps. As I can tell, I am in the minority but thats just my personal opinion. I would suggest getting auth wheels anyways but still testing to see if the reps are the issue to begin with by borrowing somebody's wheels.

if you were in cali I'd help ya out... but you're a bit further away and I'm 90% sure my wheels wouldn't fit lol

If you can't find a good set of wheels for a Z, then maybe you should stay stock. There are tons of different wheels for these cars. If a overpriced set of Vossens or Work wheels are not in the budget, then I'm sure a more suitable set can be obtained that will fit your wallet and look better at the same time.

Thanks you so much for the advices. I guess i will probably switch to oem rims and try first. Will update again if i have any issues. Thanks!

reps have a lot of problems, but not being round isn't one of them.

no matter how bad the quality of the reps they are still concentric. otherwise you would have a major imbalance in your wheels. you would notice the shaking/jumping/pulling long before the ride height difference.

Sorry guys, i think i didnt make myself clear.
What i meant is when driving on the straight road, when i am cruising, the car seems to be pulling towards left for some reason

SgtGoldy

could even be the tire. I've heard of bad tire causing drift

Does anyone know of any wheels that are similar to the 2009-2014 Nismo wheels?

Similar, but I wish they (Rays) made the rears in a 20x10.5/11 size or even a 20" for the LMGT4... ugh.
