I want a set of rims like that in my bolt pattern. Somehting like the ones FALKDESINGS had in his sig a while back with the cima (or was it a cedrick)..

WHat is the style called. I remember the rims on that silver Q with the body kit and the 19s... THATS what I want, but maybe in like 17 or 18.

I like this style MUCH better than a spoked design, it looks SO much classier IMHO!

The ones on that Cima in my sig were Precious Dish wheels, next to impossible to get in America. Those on eBay aren't that far off what's on my car now. I want to sell them to get something else.. Maybe you should PM me. Or email me [email protected] . Mine are 17x7 ASA by BBS with tires that need to be replaced within 6-8 months.

Those look a lot like the 2000 I30/Q45 touring wheels, in chrome. They are the right bolt pattern, and are all over eBay.

Not that expensive, Wes. I just bought a set of those 18x8, 18x9's for my car.

Of course everything's relative ($$$)

The style is called monoblock by some.

I could get you a set of Opera I's, (discontinued) for around $1000 or less, shipped. Not the same as those in the pics. But there's no lip, and that's silver, not polished or chrome.

Go to OZWheels.com, ignore the posted price.

Wes, got your email, I'll reply later, but just FYI, I'll be selling the wheels on my Q pretty cheap. I'll be using the money to pay off whatever I get.

Wes, I think they do, but now the closeout stuff has apparently been removed from the site.

Let me know if you're interested & I can contact them for you.

Thanks. They are 18x8 fronts (245/40s) & 18x9 rears (255/35s). They fill out the wheel wells perfectly! Ebay is where I bought them. I put them on & then put on the Tokico blues & Eibachs. I am so loving this car!

Yes you may. $730 shipped for all four. Brand new wheels. I couldn't find a better price for 18s that I liked anywhere! So I thought this was a smokin deal.

I will as soon as I get it back from the body shop tomorrow. A woman mildly rear ended me & I needed a new bumper cover. Nothing else was damaged thankfully. My car only has 66,000 miles on it. I will post some nice pics & info by Tuesday.

Gah. Well, if you look at it this way, you get a bumper that looks brand spankin new out of the deal :) .

If you need a host for your pics, I can host them for a while or ask Wes/Jesda to host them or simply post them up in the members rides section. It'd be nice to see some nice big pics of your car.

BTW, mind if I ask whom you go through for repairs Mark? My Q's in Vegas right now... it's been at the dealership for nearly 3 weeks now with NO progress. I'm about ready to have it sent elsewhere!

I appreciate the offer. The site seems to only take small photos. I have a 5 megapixel camera that takes awesome pictures. I too would like to post some big pics of my car. I think it's really nice. I'll let you know when I get the pics. Thanks again.

There is only one person I trust to work on my Q or my Z. Ernesto's. He's extremely honest & no one's better with Nissans & Infinitis. It's all he works on. His number is 702-362-0376. The Infinit dealers out here suck & have really high prices. He can hook you up.

Much appreciated Mark! Do you know if he's ever worked on the Q's active suspension system before? It needs some work, as well as what appears to be a fuel pump issue. Should I tell him you referred me?

Luckily I haven't had to go through the dealer much... I can't imagine them treating every customer like this... it's ridiculous, but what can you do...

I'm sure he can help you with your fuel pump issue & I can't imagine he won't be able to work on the active suspension. But if he can't (which would shock me) he will tell you he can't. He ahs diagnosed many things for me right over the phone. He's an old guy who has been doing this for a long time & he keeps up with all the new stuff. Our cars aren't new anymore. lol Let him know I sent ya. He's really familiar with my black 86 Z31 turbo.

I attempted to upload my new Q pics in the rides section. They didn't seem to take. Too large? Smaller ones loaded of my Z31 turbo.
