Default Finally got my Z... quick question!

Im the proud new owner of a 2006 350z coupe entusiast. Been waiting for a few years to pick one up....... anyways, the drivers side front rim was rubbed on a curb, i wouldnt mind getting that replaced. The thing is i live in Alberta Canada and the enthusiast trim isnt available to the canadian dealers. What would be the easiest and preferably cheapest way to get a replacement front rim or 2. Thanks for your time

Talk to the guys at West Covina Nissan or Andy at Performance Nissan, mynismo.com is their link and I would go to the factory parts link. Or hit him up on PM here possibly. They may be able to order you two factory wheels.

Welcome and congrats! You shouldn't have a problem finding a rim. Lots of owners switch those stock wheels for aftermarket and have them laying around. Make sure you replace it with the right size as the fronts and the rears are different widths.

Why not get the wheel repaired? It'll cost way less.

Hey bro, you can get them fixed alot cheaper than buying a new rim if it isnt too bad. Look around your area for a wheel straightening place. One near me fixed my wheel with a 24hr turnaround, for $60. Good as new.
