No, sir. Those are the best Z33 wheels ever. Rays/Nismo LMGT4's.

Must be old school..

I figured they were reps or something being so bland looking. I thought they looked like rays but I figured reps because everything else on the dudes car is aftermarket or cheap.

Cut coils, vipMoto led lights like mine, tint and that's it. Bent hood too from a crash probably.

Assumed reps because the rest is cheap or kind of bunky. Kind of funny to see bent parts and cheap aftermarket but spend a fortune on good wheels. Lol

Rota P45. A direct ripoff cheapa$$ copy replica junkpile of LMGT4s. (Or a very sadly maintained set of nice Nissan wheels.)

I know this because my son's car had these on and I insisted he (well, I) take them off immediately. I put my LMZ5 genuine Nismo wheels on temporarily and nearly just dumped the wheels in the trash bin I was so ashamed of having them take up space in my garage. Now I want my wheels back so I'm giving him my Z34 Nismos with fresh tires.

Oh, OK, fine.... they weren't THAT bad LOOKING I guess and fortunately they were the only non-stock part on his car when we got it.

Put 'em up on craigslist and they sold in a day. Psh..... sad state of affairs when I can't even sell a set of RPF1s and fresh rubber for $1200. What a joke the way people treat their cars.

Tell me about it I have authentic Ford Racing Cobrs GT 18x9 wheels with fresh meat on them. For less than what I paid for the tires alone. And it's been almost 2 years with no real offers.

Only offers I've gotten were from people offering what they would pay for a single tire. Probably just looking to buy then resell for profit knowing the price offered was utterly low.

Not sure, but I still think they're the real deal. The hub area and center cap on the Rota's has some differences that are pretty easy to spot:

Yeah, they might be real and then, maybe they're not and they're laughing at our attempts to determine their authenticity saying, "See, I'm that good, muhfuh!"

I really don't care cuz I'm not buying them. Hahahahahahaha!

I would guess and say reps because if you know enough about wheels to appreciate LMGT4s you should know enough to not get those sh*tty offsets. Look how sunken in the fronts are.

Yea see I saw that too.. everything about the car says reps.

Car is still bent from a front end crash, everything is cheap after market, it's a chick who looks like she probably just bought a Z cause it's "cute" than actually being that into cars.

All she really does is pose with it filling gas or he laying on the hood or next to it.. but everyone is talking or drooling about her set up. She doesn't have anything of her actually working on the car and aside from the wheels it looks 100% stock.

Only thing is the wheels cause like I said everything else is off the shelf fleabay stuff.

First rule of the car scene is no matter how sh*tty a build is, if a chick owns the car dudes will tell her how amazing the car is. There's not a single girl out there who thinks her car sucks thanks to all those tuner scene white knights.

Oh trust me.. I know this...

Fck boys and a pssy in the driver seat wins the interwebs every time.

I'm just curious if these are legit or not. I wanna saw no or highly doubtful. But guys are voiching and yes.

I just found it odd like you did to have such a terrible stance and off set on prime authentic wheels in the midst of a banged up flebay begin bin filled Z.

Pics of girl with car? That offset is horrible... Speaking of tuner chicks...

I dated one back in the day and she gave me a autographed picture of her and her car... I was like OMG I cant believe that just happened...

She had a Celica

Looks like a real set to me. They look like dookie offsets because they ARE dookie offsets; plus he's slammed so that tucks them even more. 18x8.5+30 and 18x9.5+25 and the center cap discolor is a dead giveaway.

Dunno, Eddie..... don't recall any of my stock (or close-to) offset wheels looking THAT bad.

Can't tell from the pic but does that front fender look like it's got some kind of fender flare on it? (Or the offset is so "in-the-40s" that it looks like shid?)

But again, here we are speculating. If they're fake, well, them whills be getting the last laugh. Snort snort.

I think you're underestimating how low that front end is. Here is another example and this guy is running 15mm spacers and isn't nearly as low.
