Default 07 wheels

What wheels are those ? Where they part of a package of some kind.




I've seen a few cars on eBay and autotrader with those.

Those do not appear to be factory Z wheels of any kind IIRC, though if you're in Canada I guess anything could happen.

Any better pics?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is a dealer installed option.

Really?

I've never heard of that before, though it definitely could be the case. I recall that chrome factory wheels were an option, though they are still the same exact wheel, and I also know that some dealers were chroming factory wheels as a local option (aftermarket, not done at factory).

yeah a dealer tried to sell them to me. its an option with any Z package, though i personally do not like them over the stock wheels. They're considered NISMO rims.

They're a dealer installed accessory

Anyone know the name of them? That doesn't look like Nismo-anything to me.

I am pretty sure these wheels were an option or an accessory for most of the lifespan of the Z33. A quick check of the '07 brochure lists them as an accessory. They're 18x8, if that helps.

IIRC, there were some issues with these. As in, they cracked. Might want to do a little more checking on here before springing for them.

Agree. Looks like the dealer installed Nissan chrome wheels. Remember the Nissan survey asking 350Z owners if they had chrome wheels, and to inspect them for cracks?

At least they're marginally better looking than the Z33 chrome accessory wheels.

BTW you need a 350Z to put the wheels on.
