Default Just learned these aren't stock rims..any ideas?
Hey everyone, had my Z about a year but today I took it to a Nissan specific independent garage for an oil change and the mechanic said that what I thought were stock wheels were actually aftermarket. They're 18s and chrome and even have Nissan center caps. Any ideas? Pic to follow, sorry, doing this from a phone

Believe those are stock, just an extra fee from the dealer. Not many people opted for that option. Or were they from the anniversary year? One of those is true lol. Regardless, they're OEM.

Yup, look OEM. If you take the wheel off you should see Nissan stamped on the back of the spoke; if not, they may be remanufactured wheels.

They are OEM Z wheels, 18x8 +30 all around. They are the factory option chrome wheels , and not many people bought them .

There is also a safety bulletin on them, many of them cracked

I thought even the stock rims were all staggered? Even the base.

The stock tire size makes the stagger not the wheels, 225/45front 245/45 rears on the early touring edition.
