I found these rims on ebay and they are the 2009 se stock wheels. The price seems really low to me so it has me wondering if it is too good to be true. I don't know much about rims so I am wondering what you guys think.

Thanks

Everything looks good IMO, but I dont think its THAT cheap. Since your going to end up buying tires, you'll probably spend close to a grand. I would just go check out some other wheels, unless you really like these. Good luck!

At the risk of sounding like a complete moron... would replicas be bad? I'm sorry I am just new to shopping for wheels. Would they likely be bad quality. I just like the look of the SE rims, but I don't want something that is not a good product.

I don't see how $123.75 per rim without tires seems cheap or too good to be true for stock rims... I gotta admit, they are nice rims, but if you're going to be dropping $1,000 or so, I'd get some rims that match your personality/car color better. Don't be vanilla!

The 18" 3.5 rims are some of the best any company has ever offered as stock. But if I had to buy rims, I'd look at alternatives. I like mine enough that I have no plans to change them but I wouldn't BUY them if I was looking at an upgrade.

The company is an OE plant not an OEM plant.

lol and $$$ I saw a used set of just wheels for sale for $2600 + shipping

I'm actualy glad my 08 didn't come with those. Not that I don't like them, they are rly good looking stock wheels, but it would be hard to spend the extra dough on new wheels and tires when the stockers look so good.

they do look very nice, i saw a 370z with them and the look sweet, and i was wondering if they would look nice on the a/c. i mean my a/c has the hub-caps on, i mean they look nice still, but wouldnt mine getting the gt-r if they look even nicer.
