They're for sale, I'm thinking 650-700 or 750-800 with the spacers (bolt on spacers will cost retail about 200)?? Tires are one year old and in excellent shape, no issues at all besides one rear being plugged, but that was within a month of putting them on, so about a year and that tire holds air exactly as the others do. Wheels are OZ, made in Italy, 18x8 & 18x9, tires are Nankang NSII 235/40-18 95h & 245/40-18 97h, I can include the hub-centric 7/8" bolt on wheel spacers if wanted, the fit is PERFECT with them. No bends or dings in wheels, but they do show their age, some curbage, very minimal.

So if they're for sale, you might be wondering what did I get, well, you'll see some pics in a bout 2 weeks. I'll tell sizes though: 19x8 & 19x9.5 w/ 245/35 & 275/30.

I dont know if 700 is worth it especially since they require spacers, just my opinion...

I have no idea what they weigh, but they're not that heavy. They're definitely strong though, IMO they'd look great on a 1st gen Q. Just run them with the spacers, and the fit is excellent, and there's no safety issue.

So maybe 650 with spacers included?

Kevin - what's the offset of the wheels, and the "effect" (in mm's) of the spacers?

The Q guys may not be the best target "customer", but name brand 18's with tires should get ~$700 to $900 + shipping.

Not to thread jack but I just bought Work VS-XX custom wheels (17") from Japan for $650, brand new cost $700 a piece.

And, as long as we're talking wheels and tires, I've got Kevin's old package:

zerothread?id=96440

for sale. I probably put literally fewer than 1k miles on them after buying and encountered one scary snowstorm.

$300 if you pick them up (in Madison, WI) or $350 plus shipping if you'd like me to ship.

They're nice, but Jeff sold me some BBS 15s. - Pat

Killer price. What's the offset and wheel width? Believe the hubs on those are 73mm.

Have looked at 18" in that style.

Rex, I believe the offset is around +40, it's pretty high, with the 7/8" spacers they fit just right, flush out to the body, but no need to roll fenders.

Kimrober, you got a sweet deal, those are hot.

I think I'll probably just toss them on eBay, but if anyone is interested, this is the chance.

Kevin - I think ebay will get you the most for your wheels and unless someone on NICO is in love with them, that's the best all around move.

I did some more searching and would suggest a reserve of ~$750 and BIN of $995 including shipping (discount for local p-up). With the searches I did, I'd also suggest using OZRacing, OZ Racing, O.Z. Racing and the model name both as 1 word and 2.

BTW, if anyone is interested there are some nice Opera's like rsiwicki has on ebay. And a sweet set of 19's in the 2 piece for a MB if anyone can use them.

I have to stop looking at wheels on ebay.

Current Infiniti standard is 66.06mm for the hub.

You shouldn't have to re-list with that kind of resserve.

Offering BIN with free shipping, can help people pull the trigger. I know it works for suckers like me .

I'll 2nd this notion.

Falk: You need some bigarse, beefy 3pc Work Equips. They seem to come up on ebay fairly often, they'd look unbelievable on your Y33. I've seen sets go for as little as $600.

I bought some new 19x8 & 19x9.5 +20 offset all around, with 245/35-19 & 275/30-19. I'm not sure if you saw my VIP meet post in General, but most of the cars there that were on 19's were running that size tires. It's gonna be very nice, I should have them on it next week some time, so look out for new pics!

Hint, similar to Brabus.
