Do you guys think the Nismo LM GT4 wheels are a good buy? I am looking for a set of light rims either 18's or 19's. Are the Nismos worth the price or do you guys recommend something else?

Forged wheels are more expensive, but give the options of Nissan/Infiniti forged OEM take off's, I'd buy a set of those ... actually I have bought 2 sets (18" 350Z 6 spokes & 19" G35 split 10 spokes) over the last 3 years.

What are you looking forA light weight wheel?A particular style wheel?A specific size/offset?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm of no help here, but If you get a set of those, please take some pictures, I want to see how they look on the Orange, that way I get an idea on how they look.

Worth it. Don't get the stagger though unless you really want that look - the Z handles better with a square fitment.

They're strong and light...and more importantly - relatively rare. All good attributes

You cand find some good deals on Ebay for some 19s and 18s from time to time. Prices range from 850-1300 for the 18s. And 1200-1800 for the 19s. To answer your question, yes. They are light weight and looks perfect on any Z33.

And I'd say the R35 GT-R rims on a Z are MY personal favorite.

Ya I would like to see you get those. Especially when there 2k each and each tire is 800-900.

Those wheels look sick, but the price tag would also make me sick.What kind of body kit does that 350Z have?

I'm not sure but I don't like that front, the only reason it looks decent is because the black gives it slack and hides the rest of the annoying curves.

And yeah those I hear can run up to about $2,000 for one without rubber which would then cost you like another $600(?) With that $$ you could go and get yourself a some good ol F/I

But I am now really considering on painting my Base Z Rims that exact same color, I wonder if it would turn out good.

LMGT4 are great wheels. Simple 5 star design, light, and tough, made by RAYS.

Wow, this is a very old thread. Got me thinking again about getting a set.The only con I can think of is the relatively steep price tag. Other than that, it's perfect. Lightweight, simple and classic design, relatively rare, and made by RAYS's and it's built for the Z. If you puchase it from West Covina Nissan, they could powder coat for you for $85 a piece.

Did you find a good deal on them? Let me know where you found it at.

the LM-gt4 are super nice, if you have an older 350z the newer 350z come with wheels i would prob keep over the LM's, but i have a black 04 z and i'm waiting to put the bronze LM's on cause i'm skeptical about the the size and offset, there are 18/8.5 +25 offset... it's hard to come by the rears so i'm stuck with 4 fronts.....anybody got an idea should i be using spacers in rear? and if so what size?

Can anyone confirm the weight of these wheels? I'm trying to see exactly how much they weigh compared to similarly sized 18x9.5 Rota P45R's... I've heard the weight difference is only one pound lighter in favor of the LMGT4's...
