How about these Centerline rims?

What do you guys think about these Centerline rims? They are forged and definitely meet the load ratings for the Q. They are available in 16x8 inch sizes so it's a nice alternative to the Twin Turbo Z rims (which I think don't quite match with the looks of the Q).

I know that Centerlines are associated with american muscle cars but recently they've gotten into FWD imports and are a VERY nice rim. Look through their webpage to see what they have to offer.http://www.centerlinewheels.com

So far, these look ok to me. I did a rough photoshop of the Stingray wheel.Matrix

I am thinking perhaps the six luggers are for trucks. Don't they have distinct models for cars and trucks?

Personally, I have to like BBS, SSR, or even the rear 300ZXTT rims better from an esthetic point of view. Of course, function triumphs over form as you will never see them while you are driving the Q.

Those look good. Another thing I look for in wheels, is ease of cleaning. Rivets, and sharp edges are a pain to clean around, and if the wheels are polished aluminum, and are not clear-coated, you will spend more time polishing the wheels, than you will spend cleaning the rest of the car.

They showed the 6 luggers in the photos but if you visit their site, they list the sizes, bolt patterns and offsets. They have the 5x4.5 and various offsets.

Nobody has pics of the 300Z TT rims on a Q. I have tried picturing them on a Q and for some reason, it just doesn't match.

Check out the new Tirerack adds in Car & Driver. There is a G35, with some new 19" wheels. Sweet.:ylsuper

Tirerack or Discount Tire Direct has a search engine that will allow you to show your car, in your color, and any wheel that will fit it, that they have. It is a great way to see aftermarket wheels on your car.

I have always liked Centerline wheels because of the combination of light weight and low cost.

These wheels are nice. What are the offsets? They look like rims for trucks and rear wheels drive domestics.

If they fit the Q, then it would be a good alternative to Z wheels.
