I dont believe its a NICO members, certainly not ozzie! - I've spoken to him.

For the record thats roughly US$15-16K

Tell him he's dreamin

One with non OEM parts (wonder why it doesn't run?) and one all cobbled up so it is useless as a tourer.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the chrome wheel well rims. You could get those, along with the rocker panels, mirrors and pillar posts. And he said that car was "pimped out."

[Woot!]

I think the front end looks awesome on the AU car. If the first one was closer to me than I would hit it for a parts car for my Q...I'm guessing that it is a victim of chain guides.

The wheel well in chrome only looks good on a black car. At least in Brooklyn. I've seen some great Maximas with them.

See, I knew I wasn't the only one with the BBS clones. Except his say ACT on the caps. Other than that, he has the cap lock just like my ELITE ones.

Was it a dealer option?

What happened to the t? Franken-Q?

Who's car is that? It has the FSTB on it. I didn't think people knew to apply them to a Q outside of NICO.

The AU Q is cool. Not too crazy about the bodykit, but I love the hood. Slightly reminiscent of an early Acura. Legend and Vigor.

Uh-oh. 20's? And they look good on the car? OMG! (The way they look, not the wheels themselves. I don't like the design.)

Call the OEM Police!

The dealers did sell aftermarket BBS wheels which were 15x7 to the Infiniti dealers, but were not of the same quality as the original ones. They were original BBS wheels. The difference may have been the oem were forged while the aftermarket were cast. I have this info written down somewhere, but can't find it now. The information came from BBS directly.

[elwesso]

They werent always 15x7s. Ive seen some mesh 15x6s that looked like the BBS... Actually, some of the aftermarket ones had more of a lip than the factory BBS, but certainly were not of the same quality.

[Haitian_King]

As far as I know, these wheels have been on the car forever. They seem to have held up quite well. If these are the "inferior" wheels, then the BBS wheels must be invincible. Impervious to brake dust and curb rash, eh?

[elwesso]

just because they last as long doesnt mean they are as good. I was mainly referring to the fact that theyre forged and only weigh 12-13 lbs whereas the other ones are more like the piepans at a 17-20lb range each.

I have only seen the BBS imitations in 15x7, not genuine BBS, either cast or forged.

So is that an aftermarket BBS clone? Or an actual BBS wheel, just not the one that came from the factory?
