What Are These Wheels?

[Wingnut0021]

So when I bought this car, the guy was saying that included in the price was these none standard wheels. Fair enough, they do look better than the stock standard ones I thought and I went with it. But are these even OEM 350GT wheels?

This is what I found for stock wheels for the 350GT

This is what I have

So by the looks of it, the couple only had 18" and 19" wheels, the sedan had 16", 17" and 18".

They look decent but why are they only 17"? They appear to be genuine Nissan, maybe from a Maxima or something? I cant find them anywhere.

I'll have to check but I think they are 215 front 235 rear. Seems like a downgrade and a rippoff.

they look a bit like J32 Maxima rims, but not quite the same.

it is easy enough to put the 'Nissan' cap on just about any rim.

Any S2 V35 (sedan or coupe) will require a minimum of 17in rims as they have larger stock brakes than the S1.

They are V36 sedan base model (250GT i believe) wheels

They don't look too bad imho. But get some 15mm spacers on the front and 30mm spacers on the rear STAT!

take off one of the wheels & check the back of the spokes

if it's genuine nissan it should have Nissan stamping on the back of the spokes, or even Enkei.

Enkei made the stock wheels for v36 so I'm assuming v35 should be same?

The back wheels look tiny in those rear guards though

Thanks Howaitonaito, I guess they are genuine Nissan afterall.

And yeah Yo-Yo I agree, going to spend a little on a new set and will be putting on a set of spacers like nightcrawler has said.

Not sure if I want to go with 18" or 19"

How hard are these to get? This is exactly the look im going for.

[Howaitonaito]

They pop up on ebay all the time they are anniv/series 2 350Z track wheels. Not rare and not common so be prepared to pay 5-600 maybe more for a set in average-good condition wheels.

mmmm, those look awesome, the darker colour might match up better with a white car. I am probably going to paint my grille black too.

Thanks for the heads up

[Howaitonaito]

I would have the grill colour matched to the wheels. People ride the "black grill" mod until the wheels fall off.

Colour matched so its dark but not too dark.
