Well it's been a long ride, but I finally found a set of these wheels that were in PERFECT condition... My pro-kit will be installed this weekend. Rob is my witness that I got them at Stillen. I'm happy to say that I'm the first person on NICO to put SE-R wheels on a coupe. Let me know what you guys think.

I was wondering what they would look like. Looks Decent, will def. look better after the drop. What size are they? They look like 17" or at the most 18"'s.

They're 18's.

I got my EIBACH at the Stillen thing too. I got them installed the same day. This shop near my house did it for 120.

I have a CD service manual and did research. It's not hard do at all. I was a TECH for Volkswagen a few years ago. So I know I can do it no problem. My only problem is the time to do it.

When I first got them I was a bit worried, but it worked out great when I had the tires installed.

Each wheel cost $790 from the dealer, The cheapest I found around my area and even a few hundred miles away. I looked for a mint condition used set, but seemed impossible to find so I ended up buying them from the dealer. And the dealers I called I was having problems with because they have had them in stock for some time and moving them around the wheels got scratches. Even in their boxes. Till I found a dealer that had 4 brand new ones in PERFECT condition.

I looked around for different set of wheels, but I wasn't pleased with what I would see. I've had BBS's, OZ's, HRE's and many others on my other ride and I didn't want any of those. I ended up with the mentality of getting something sportier and OEM. I looked at G35's, 350Z, G37's and M45's, but I didn't like any of them till I came across an SE-R that had these and told myself "Those are the wheels."

Looks good. I got the Eibach springs at Stillen too lol. A buddy and I installed them in the back yard, they're actually not that hard to do.

I did the install already. Took me about 2 hours to do. Not hard at all. I noticed the ride difference and appearance. Makes the car look 10 X better.
