.......Fred had on his car before Wes bought it? I'm trying to find some history on them like what years they were made etc..... I don't know Fred's e-mail to see what he knows. I've emailed OZ directly to see if they could give me any info.

No, but I will tell you the OZ Superleggera are 20.5 lbs. each in 18x9 with a 35mm offset and are hubcentric.

Actually you will find that most aftermarket wheels with only a 5x114.3 are hubcentric for nissans, due to the fact that Nissan used the biggest hub bore (60ish mm).. all the other japanese and american cars that use that same bolt pattern are smaller....

The MSW (theyre not hitekk, thats some gay sticker someone put on them) were originally sold from tire rack, so says dr rex.... They were a silver color, and they had a sort of chrome ring in the center cap....

Brian, you of all people should know that 18x9 with 35mm offset will not clear the front... they may rub on the outside depending on the tires, and will DEFINITELY rub on the suspension... Come on buddy, maybe you could search... 20.5lbs isnt exactly light, IMO.

I thought that HITEKK looked gay. I'd hope that those stickers disappear cause they look like they don't belong anyway.

They're called O.Z. Racing Saturn Plus. If you look around, you may be able to find a set of used ones. Just be careful about used wheels, especially if you ever need a replacement when they're not made anymore.

And they were offered/available on the 1999-2001 Lotus V8, but the offset/sizes used on the Lotus will not work on the Q.

17x8.5 +19.0 & 18x10 +17.0

Seems to be used by some Lexus guys, so you may want to search ebay using Lexus key words.

The 60mm bore hub was "partly" due to OZ's partnership with Lotus and Lotus' use of this size hub for years, later reduced to 58mm.

Rex - I just noticed you have,... Like .... a billion post! You're almost at 10,000! I guess I should say thanks for being there for the Infiniiti crowd.Peace.

I plan on having a set of those rims someday. They look like they belong on a Q. OZ, Maybe it's an Italian thing........ and to think my family is old school French, Prussian and die hard American for the past 278 years! And I have a Japanese car. It's great to live in the great American melting pot.

Ya think as bad as your 33mm offsets? A test fitting is forthcoming.

Since the 18x8 30's I have up front are close to the outter edge, actually make the slightest of contact with full up suspension travel. I'd say I have to agree that you can't fit a 9" wide wheel in there.

Be very interested if you find out differently.

Brian, my tires wouldnt rub at all if I had the correct size tire on there (245 on an 8.5 wheel instead of a 265)... 255 shouldnt rub either.. plus, i can increase camber a little to make it not rub on the fender...

Remember that in the front the wheel is always in the same position relative to the 3rd link..... When you change the camber, you change the angle of the entire thing...

Really you dont need any more than a 245 on the rear of the Q unless its got nitrous or something ricer like that..... something brian would have no interest in doing...

Use a tire offset calculator..

I wish I could find some 255 Pirelli PZero Nero M+S, but I can't. I have to settle for the 245's.

Talked with O.Z today and they want me to send them some pictures of the Q with these wheels on them. The guy said he's never seen them on a 1st gen Q before. I can't wait now that I'm all pumped up about some decent wheels with a fresh powder coat just in time for winter.

I was thinking about clear coating them when I got them. What do you think? I'm not sure they would actually need it, but I think they would be easier to clean. Can't really get a good picture in my head of how that would change the look of the wheel.
