Here's a buy it now for $540...a few months ago they were cheaper. Still cheap for what you get (perfect size, offset, hubcentric, and looks pretty darn good). :p

The wheels weren't expensive (see above) and neither was the 5-lug swap. Here's a break down of that:

Front spindles + hubs - $100Ball joints - $50Rear hubs and bearings - $100Lug nuts (kyokugen) - $40Nuts and bolts - $16

I did Z32 brakes up front too, so that and the other brake components (new glide pins/boots for the rear, Hawk pads, ss lines, fluid) jacked up the price.

The most expensive part was my tires!

Thanks for the complements guys!

I didn't want 18's or I may have went that route. The G35 18's look better than the 350Z 18's IMHO though.

I thought about the 350Z 17's, but I liked how these 'flared' out (from the hub to the outer part of the rim).

Yeah, me too! The 18's look sweet, but I feel they're too big for our little s13's. S14 on the other hand...

iirc, the g35 coupe's 18s weigh damn near 50lbs with tires!

I'd bet awesome! Give it a go (too bad the 18's are pricey)!

my friends got a g35 with the 18's, he's thinking about putting 19's on it, if he does i get the 18's cheap, with tires. i just have to do my 5 lug swap when the time comes, i was gonna do it anyway. right now i got sentra spec v wheels they look good too.

i like the 350 z wheels better but only because of the stager. 7.5 in the front 8.5 in the rear. that sounds more like the clasic rearwheel drive set up...i was gonna do this about a month ago but funds ran short

The only ones I've ever seen are 17x7.5 and 17x8 (I'm talking 17's...18's are out of the question for me). Plus, I like the flared look of these wheels. I also have my doubts about z32 brake clearence on the 350z 17's.

Umm... no. The 18's on the 350z are Rays forged.

The 18 inch 7 spokes arn't forged.
