Default New Nissan wheels

I got this 2005 Touring last week. Obviously I love it, as you can tell by my ****-eating grin. I don't like the stock wheels on the '05 Zs. The dealer put these new Nissan/TSW wheels on this one. Somewhat similar to the 35th AE, but way cooler. I've never seen them in any Nissan accessories listing. There is a Nissan badge in the middle, but also a small TSW badge on a spoke. www.tsw.com Maybe some new joint venture. Also came with the Toyo Proxes TS-1 tires. You might want to ask about them if you are looking into a new Z. The wheels get more comments than the car.

Thanks man. 18" diameter and 10" wide. I paid about $1500 more for the wheels & tires, but who knows how the dealer actually spread the cost

Nice the only thing I have seen from Nissan is the chrome rims of 17 or 18 going for like 2K, but the same tires.

They look awesome. But the are most likely not affiliated with Nissan. The stock Nissan center caps probably fit the TSW wheels. But its cool that they do because its gives the impression of being stock.

I wonder what the dealer did with the old wheels?

They do look pretty nice though.

How crappy is the offset? So far I've yet to see a nice offset factory wheel from Nissan.

Wheels look good but if the offset sucks I wouldnt want anything to do with them.

They're very nice, but I disagree about the "way cooler" part. The 35th wheels in person are sexy and have a really nice finish on them.
