Default 370 rims on a 350z?

i did a few searches but didnt see anything on this...and i assume its possible.. but has anyone done it for the heck of it? might look really bad might not idk? rims are always subjective to each persons taste..and im not saying i would want this but i would be interested in seeing it just to see it.. .so has anyone done this or seen it ? pics?

I assume you're referring to the 19 inch rims you get if you purchase the 370Z with the sport package and not the 18's you get otherwise. I don't know of anyone who's done either yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I'm not getting a 370Z until the spring (I hate breaking cars in during cold weather) but I plan on keeping the 19's on mine.

They look like ***. The Nissan Versa and Murano both sport very similar wheels.

You must be legally blind. They look nothing like anything you can get on the Versa or Murano. To me they're some of the best looking stock wheels out (not to mention being lightweight compared to other stock wheels).

Appearances... to each his own, but the Sport Pack wheels are atrocious. Keep them on the 370Z.

Someone on the 370z site has done this already. They hit the Brembo brakes, but probably will clear the standard 350z brakes.

if you had read my post you wouldve known I dont specifically want it for myself.. i was just curious in seeing it..you know kinda like a lotta guys will watch 2 girls 1 cup or 4 girls finger paint...but i wouldnt have any intention on being into that ****! its more of a question on why not do it just bc .. and a lotta ppl do like the wheels.. i must say in person the 19s are a lot nicer than i thought.. but i have also seen many people buy aftermarket wheels for the 350 that are out right ridiculous..so i know this couldnt be any worse..

Not sure about those two, but a coworker drives a Nissan Rogue, and the wheels are nearly identical to the 19" 370Z wheels but smaller. Not expressing an opinion of this either way, just fyi.
