370z NISMO RIMS
 

The kit is horrible but the rims are hot! It also has a 0.6-inch wider track than the Sport-package 370Z, due to the wider rims of the lightweight forged-aluminum Rays wheels. They measure 19-by-9.5 inches in front and 19-by-10.5 inches in back.

Yeah, I like these too. Looks like they may be a bit lighter then the factory sport wheels. Do you have the offsets for them?
I want to run a 305/30/19 rear, so the 10.5 will be a better fit then the stock 10":tup: Now, I wonder what the cost will be, hopefully inline with the last Nismo wheels.

Can't wait to find out if these are available separately. Definitely SICK SICK SICK!!! I could do without the rest of the Nismo edition - Plus I want my NAV and leather.

I asked my dealer to ask Nissan if they can get these wheels for me for my new 370 when I order it. Can't hurt to ask...

Am I the only ones who think the Sport package wheels look WAY better??

I really like the sport package wheels - way more than I thought I would from pictures I saw before I bought my 370. IMO they are possibly the best OEM wheels ever for a car in this price range. they are gorgeous wheels.

But the Nismo wheels with the better offset just looks sleeker and meaner IMO. I like that they kept the forked spokes, but made the spokes themselves straight. beautiful wheels, just slightly edging out the sport wheels IMO.

Its a hard choice to make, mainly because the Sport wheels are on the car and require no more $$$.

I think both sets of wheels for the 370 look great.

This is the first time I've bought a new car and not wanted to instantly change out the wheels.

I would like to get them powdercoated though, was thinking a charcoal/black color for my chicane.

I definitely agree, this is one of the first cars Ive bought that I didnt want to change the wheels right away, myself. I just think the Nismo wheels almost look a little plain, compared to the sport package.

I have the base model...no sport... And seeing them lined up I would kill for my base wheels in a larger size, but I do like these Nismo's

hmm.. get these and powder coat black I think would look great

I mainly like them because they are wider and have a more correct looking offset.

hehe you are not alone.

i think these NISMO ones are nice, but the sports package ones are better IMO.

The kit actually looks spectacular... the wheels not so muh IMO.

Yeah, it's kind of a toss up. I think the only reason I like the Nismo a bit better is that they are .50 wider for front and rear, which will accommodate the tire sizes that I want to run. Plus they look like they could be a little lighter and would look awesome with some drilled and slotted rotors :tup:

Here you go :tup: Pchop

I do like the sport wheels more. It's easy to say since I have them though :D

Or, maybe something like this.............

I like them both, although I think I like the Nismo wheels a little better. The "dish" look of the rears is nice looking. Our sport wheels are nothing to sneeze at, Rays forged. I agree with the previous poster, this is one of the first cars in recent years I have purchased that I didn't feel the need to change out the wheels.

I think they look a little thin..

I like them, but would only buy them used. If you're going to spend the money, might as well get something aftermarket.

:iagree:

Anyone else think the 370Z NISMO looks like a Porsche?

...I don't like it too much

i absolutely love the 370z nismo wheels. i've never driven a nissan before and have a question for all you nissan fans out there: i want to order a 370z sport, but i want to get the nismo wheels. does anyone know if i have to pay for the stock wheels, or can i just pay for the car and the nismo wheels in one transaction?

otherwise it would be such a pain to have to sell the stock wheels on craigslist after the fact...

The regular coupe looks somewhat like a Porsche also, and this isnt really a bad thing :)

These rims work very well with the car!
Especially because of the body kit, I think that they did a good job trying to accomodate it with these rims.

Yes Nissan makes some sick stock rims. Love the rear concavity :drool:

I think you will almost certainly need to buy the Sport car and have the wheels swapped for Nismo wheels (whenever they decide to start providing those, at whatever cost). The alternative, of course, is to buy the Nismo and take a bunch of crap off it. Unfortunately, the Nismo wheels are not an option for the standard car.

What manufacturers have done is reduced the number of available option packages. It increases their margins because a) they have fewer different cars to build, inventory, and sell - and - b) because if you want one or two things, you have to jump up to a whole new options package, which just increased their sale. Sucks for us - better for them.

Incidentally, the one thing I'll give GM credit for is that they tried to maintain a lot of flexibility in their options lists. They're learning their lesson from that....

I called the dealership near my house and the parts guy said that although the nismo wheels aren't available yet, when they do go on sale, they'll cost about $1,000 per wheel (not including the tire). Can that be right? That's WAY expensive! Would anyone in their right mind consider spending something like $5,000 just for wheels?

Yes, I believe it. I lot of the forged Rays wheels are going from $600 - $900 each, so I don't doubt the dealer will be selling them for $1000 msrp at first. I would bet that the price will come down after about 6 months of being out. I know the current Nismo forged S-Tune 19" rim that is out can be had for $1800.00 a set. So I would think the new factory version would be a bit more, maybe could be had for $2200 - $2400 a set. :tup:

Remember, the dealer doesn't price them to sell to people who are upgrading all four rims - they price them as spare parts for a Nismo owner who bends a rim or two. Of course the other benefit of the high rim price is that it makes the Nismo look even more exclusive.

I'm sure you can find lower price, lighter weight wheels than the Nismo wheels that you like. I think the Nismos are very very good for a factory part, but if given my absolute choice, there are a few others I'd go for...
