i thought that the chrome ones tend to crack and be dangerous.

this is an excuse to upgrade due to safety reasons..

Those chrome ones are not OEM Nissan, they were sent out by the dealer to be plated. They are known to crack, i would not run them for long, very good reason to upgrade. There is another chrome wheel that was OEM, but that was an 18, only a few of them broke.

istan-"The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has opened a case file on cracked Nissan wheels. Go to this link:

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...fectsearch.cfm

and type "PE06050" in the window below where it says "NHTSA Action Number" to get the details.

Or search by vehicle (06 Nissan 350Z) to find "EA07005" which is the new investigation."

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...-wheels-3.html



most of them were subjected to some type of heat from "chroming or powder coating but still not good.
