Default Is Nissan putting Rays on Tourings?

I was at the dealership this morning, and they had a black track and a silverstone touring. Both had Rays wheels on them, but only the track had the Brembos.

I asked if this was something that the dealer had done, but they told me that those were the wheels that are coming on the touring model now.

Anybody heard anything about this?

The GM of the dealer where I bought my car said people have asked for the Rays rims and his parts department had to quote them close to 6k for the set.

There was no markup on this car. They said it came to them that way. I asked more than one person in the dealership, too.

If the Rays ARE coming stock on the touring i am totally going back in to complain my azz off until they swap mine for the rays. Theres no way i am going to sit around getting ripped off because they decide to change their manufacturing process half-year like that.

No ****, although I just can't believe this to be the case.

yeah its not... track owners would be pretty pissed as well, they just paid 800$, and gave up leather and bose so they could have brembos....

that would not happen, and will not happen.

like I said, if you do not already own the Z, buy it, it is an incredable deal, tho I have a feeling somewhere along the line youll run into someone that knows what happens when they tell you theres a 5000$ markup on the touring track model.

The dealer is an idiot. I just got my Z 2 weeks ago and no Rays. Because Z's don't come with Rays.

Jeeze, I hope they screw mine up like that...if it's true. I wouldn't say a word and drive it away with those nice, light Rays.

my theory, someone bought a TRACK and liked the looks of the touring wheels more, and asked the dealer if they could switch the wheels (thus the NO mark-up on the Touring), and the dealer did. We would hear a TON of people talking about this if the touring came with rays, from the factory.

Default RodH u r correct

Ya get a metal wookie button...

No really...The dealer is a putz...

Rays are on Track versions only

Sharks are on the Touring

and the Fins are on the Enthusiast

IF a Touring has Rays its cause someone changed the rims.

Perhaps there was something wrong with the Sharks and they ordered the Rays by mistake.

Its posible.. yep

EZ... my 2 centavos worth... probably woth less than that...

pS you find chicken legs on Cobras J/K ( fast but wobbly )

highly unlikely that they will place rays on the touring. if they already have them on there, then by all means get the car!! it is a great deal only if they dont add a ridiculous amount for them.

Now you know why I like you guys so much... You made a good ( in the small mind of mine ) joke into a real funny joke... I just love hanging out here!

If I aint in my Z I am sure to be found lurking in the trash bins of MY350Z.com

Its gonna rain to day so my DBZ is sleeping in my garage... I hate when that happens.

WRX - Guppys
