1500 still is a reasonable price... I paid 1400 for mine with brand new BFG Gforce tires lug nuts and already powder coated black and all I had to do is get some 20mm spacers and I was set

1k still isn't bad considering they are 1k each from the dealer. Pc is around 200 for all the wheels, tires a good set will run you about 1k. Think about it your getting ray's. That is just my opinion I love my wheels on my car

Yea the front wheels will not clear w/o spacers, I was told that "they will clear with 15mm spacers" but I was kind of hesitant on that so I went with the 20mm bolt on hubcentric spacers and they sit really good and flush. you can also run a 25mm but IMO the 20mm hubcentric bolt on spacer is the way to go. I ordered mine from ebay and the seller's name is "OPTIONSELECTS" $75 w/free shipping, I was kind of hesitant as to buying them because I daily drive mine but I did anyways and I have been super pleased with them. I have had no issues at all "no vibrations or anything" So if you are looking for a set of spacers at a decent price I would recommend this seller only because I have them on my car.

Plus they have to meet DOT standards or else they would be held liable for any malfunctions, damages or anything caused by the spacers not meeting the dot standars and can be sued unless other wise stated "TRACK USE ONLY"or "OFF-ROAD USE ONLY".

sorry if i missed some other info...but 1) what do you mean that fronts wont clear w/o spacers? like what will happen, they will rub the fender or please describe the problem. and 2) since you did a 20mm spacer on a front, dont you wanna have a 20mm spacer on a back to keep the staggered ratio set up? and if you do not, then how does the car handles without a staggered set up, or shall i say modified staggered set up, since its not he same ratio anymore. thanks.
Trust me buddy, I wouldn't lie to ya ;-)

The inner lip of the barrel hits the suspension component (I can't remember what it is offhand without looking - but it's whatever is directly above the hub) and no you don't want 20mm rear spacers because the offset of the 370z wheels causes the rears to be flush without - if you bought 20mm spacers, then they'd stick OUT 20mms.

i did not even think about the offset numbers, so, adding 20mm spacer to the front of 350z with the 370z 19" rays wheels will still keep the staggered set up...meaning that the track width of the front wheels will be smaller than the track width of the rear - is that correct? it sounds like, just trying to make sure we are on the same page. i am sure there is a way to calculate this sh.t using stock track width and offsets but sounds like almost easier take a tape and measure it after install.
But damn, i am glad to hear that there is a need only for 1 set of spacers, those are not that cheap.so, i also hear this mixed review of the lug nuts? still trying to figure if i should be looking for a 370z lug nuts (which for the rays wheels i believe had a washer in them) or just use my 350z lug nuts and check the torque periodically?

1.You have to use a spacer in the front or else the front wheels will not clear the upper suspension by the top of the wheel
2. The wheels still have the staggered offest.
3. you do have to use the 370z lugs because of the washeres on them, using anyother lug will not stay torqued down and will keep coming loose. I would advise getting the correct lugs if your going to do it.

$3.49 per lug from Rockauto might be the best deal!

I guess that rockauto.com would be the was to go.... You should check with a dealer to see what they charge and if you know anyone that ownes a paint&body shop or a mechanic check with them first they may get them at a cheaper price aswell.
