No there a step up from base wheels the base wheels don't have that split spoke design it's just a solid 5 spoke

These are Base wheels for 2013+ 370Z, the 2009-2012 have the solid 5 spoke.

That isn't really all that bad. Second day I had mine, I ruined my passenger side skirt... But I know how you must feel. Hope it gets all better :)

I'd say pay the money and get it fixed. I doubt you could live with it looking like that. I occasionally see a random 2013 wheel on ebay but you would be looking at 400 or so for the wheel + labor costs for tire swapping.

Dude if I were you I would not spend the money or time getting that wheel fixed!! I would use the money for a new set of wheels. :stirthepot:

So we are both right. I like that.

Things always happen in threes so expect a dent in the rear quarter and a rock chip on the windshield soon.

I don't know but they are friggin' heavy. I have OZ chrono hT wheels on my IS300. Lifting this wheel was like lifting two of the Oz's.

I work as a salesperson for Nissan. The 5 spoke wheels were technically the " base" wheels before 2013. The wheels that I have now, which are now considered the "base" wheels were only offered in the convertible. In 2013 they made the convertible wheels also standard on the hard top. So yes they are the " base " wheels. Haha.

I agree with you 100%

New set won't come for at least 3 years. I m happy with stock wheels. Beautiful design.

You'll feel better once you get it fixed. That sucks though.
