Wondering what kind of look that would be. And would the tire pressure sensors no longer work? the Z rims have pressure sensors in them but how does that system communicate to the car's computer ?

Yes do a search and you will find pics. I believe the tire sensors work on some sort of wireless system.

First welcome to Nico!!..

off the cuff, I can say that they will look good ,be light, but it will take a check to make sure the wheel can handle the weight of the bigger car with long term trueness and safety.

For technically always accurate info please also check our wheel/tire subforum, staffed by some of our most competent Moderators:zeroforum?id=140

They should work just fine..

350Z wheels have 30mm offset, Q wheels have 35 so you should be all set.. They will stick out 5mm more out of the wheel well which is hardly noticeable!

Here is mine without the sensors, the car needs to be lowered and im going with a larger front and rear tire, these rims might be for sale for $350, they are clean and bend free.

I might be interested in those wheels. Very interested. I've been looking for a set...all I can find are the chrome ones which are too expensive and I hate chrome.Let me know if you decide to sell them.

Thanks 1qckser,

I'll pass my Dibs off to MoD, I dont think the shipping will make it economically feasable.

Ooops, sorry kev1n, I missed the post where you stated you wanted to buy them.

I'm still debating actually...I read the post thinking he was not selling them quite yet...just wanted to make sure he knew I was potentially interested.They wear, what...245/45/18s? They get expensive, and I need to decide if I can afford $500 worth of tires along with the wheels.

So, in other words, don't reserve them for me, but if you don't sell them in a week or so, I may still be interested. These wheels are hard to come by, I've been searching everywhere, so it may be worth it to just buy the wheels and hang onto them until I can get tires.

Thanks guys, sorry if I caused confusion. Take them if you want them kev1n, that's a great price.

no problem, they look great on your car BTW.... I think at some point I'm going to get a set of these on my Q or a set of G35C 18's or 19's on my Q.

Not if you get the correct size tire...

Whats the stock Q45 run, like a 245-45-18???

If so you oculd easily find a tire with the same OD and it will work fine.....
