Default Wheel help!! 20" Nismo Rays from a 2009 Skyline?

Hi,

I've an opportunity to buy 3 20" Nismo Rays for a great price. They are sealed in their original plastic and never used. I am having trouble identifying what type of vehicle they are from so that I can order the 4th from a dealership to go on my 350z.

The guy selling them said the following:

'I work at a nissan parts warehouse and that's where I got them. They are for a nissan skyline and were made at the end of 2009'

I have searched EVERYWHERE online and cannot find out what type of rim this is for sure, nor find any pics of a 2009 Skyline with these.

Can anyone help me?

Did you look on the back of the wheel for the stamp or a sticker? One, if not both, should be on there. It will say the wheel width, offset, etc.

I wonder if they are hot. . .

BTW, "sealed in their original plastic"? I've owned, oh, about 200 wheels. Every one of them came in a box.

Even if he/op managed to get all three wheels for a great deal, how would he go about buying the fourth? Im not sure if any owner of these wheels are willing to part w/just one, unless they have spares, which are probably curbed up... Best chance is to buy a new wheel and try to match the offsets and $ize

I agree w/ the others, seems like theres something fishy about only being able to sell three of them, and skyline wheels, 20's, it doesnt add up... Guy who "works" at a nissan parts warehouse obviously doesnt know what he is talk about

The 4th is probably hanging on the wall of the showroom of some company that just had 3 rims stolen from their warehouse.

The possibility of them being hot crossed my mind as well, for supposedly working at a parts warehouse the guy doesn't seem to know much about parts in the few conversations I've had with him.

I'm going to pass on them as he doesn't seem to know WTF he's talking about after looking at that style in the Rays Catalog (not available in 20's) and I don't want to be ripping around town on possibly stolen rims as my innate love of breaking traffic laws already gives me enough police attention. Damn them.

Thanks for all of the help!
