Default 18" forged alloy wheels on Performance Z?

Hi,

I am just beginning to research the Z and this is my first post on this forum so please be gentle :-)

Does anyone know if I can get Nissan (or a dealer) to put the 18" forged alloy wheels from the Track model onto a Performance Z?

I like those wheels a lot but I don't like the spoilers on the Track Z.

You see my dilemma...

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance,

- KidWicked

You can but they cost an arm and a leg. You would be better off looking to buy a set from someone who has replaced them or go aftermarket. I think you can get the Nismo wheels for cheaper, not sure though. I'm sure someone else will chime in with prices. Good luck.

Each wheel from the dealer is about $1,400--each wheel, not a set or even tires for that matter. You can find a set from a seller in the classified section of this site for around $1,600 with tires.

The cheapest I've heard for new Track wheels was about $1100 each! You can probably get some used ones for much cheaper. I think the Nismo wheels are about $500 each.

If the only reason you don't like the Track is because of the spoiler than I would suggest just to get a track and get a different spoiler than to get a performance and add track wheels. Plus with the Track you also get the Brembo brakes which look great with the track wheels.
