I have a chance to possibly trade my rims + tires with some rims i consider 'nicer' + tires... how much should i value the stock nismo rims at, very minor curb rash an inch long on 1 rim

 

it's hard to put a dollar value on it but I place those nismo wheels right up there with high tier aftermarket wheels (volks/work etc). others may agree or disagree.

I love those stock nismo wheels personally!

 

i agree, these rims are awsome, i would only consider trading them if i thought it was a good deal.

 

i sold mine for 1800 with the tires on them.

 

thats it?!?! i thought they were worth a lot more

 

The wheels new are $1000 each.

Hey just pretty much just gave them away.

 

I bought my set last year for $2,000... Its a stock OEM wheel man nothing that special..Dont give me the nismo blah blah limited production BS either.. Spending 2 grand on OEM wheels are retarded to some here.. You might as well take that money and buy some VOlKS

 

They are still a Forged one piece rim made by Rays! They are limited edition and worth way more then $1500-$1800 in mint shape! Fools for selling them. I to have VOLKS! I consider these rims to be near what i paid for the Volks with sensors, balance and tires with less then 1600 miles on them..

Why take low ball offers?! They will only become even harder to find in the years to come.

 

you should really keep your pie hole shut!

The wheels are made the same way as TE37 all made by RAYS!

18.9 front 19.10 in rear.

 

You have a hard on for your nismo product because you own one plain and simple.. Jackass...
Thank u i know what the sizes are!!.. Obviously i like these wheels i payed 2 Grand for them but like i said before to some paying top dollar for stock wheels makes no sense..

 

1800 is not giving them away. i liked my stock nismo rims, when i upgraded my brakes to bbk, the front rims wouldnt fit over my brakes.

just because the dealership charges 1000 a piece for the rims doesnt mean that they are worth that much.
i wouldnt pay 4000 for them. i think my volks are much nicer than my stock rims were.

 

Could you post up some pics? I would like to see how your Z looks.

 

They Nismo wheels are $1000 cost from the stealership, if you know people you can get them for MUCH cheaper, never mind them being used. $2,000 for the set in good condition is fair price.

These aren't Nismo's but exactly the same; forged one piece made by Rays.

Can anyone point out where you can get the Rays lightweights forged rims that come on the NISMO? Seriously, I would like to know. I have a 2008 a NISMO and keep my slicks on the Rays and ride around town on 20" Lowenhart LSR's.

I would love a second set of the Rays that come on the NISMO but from what I know, YOU CAN'T get them from anywhere but the dealership. This is why I would NEVER sell mine.

 

Why shouldn't we have a hard on for our NISMO. It is an absolutely incredible car, and drives/handles completely different than any other version of the Z in the U.S.

Just because those rims came "on" the NISMO doesn't mean they are like any other "stock" wheel. Do you not get that?

 

Would like to see photos of NISMO with NISMO wheels. Thanks.

 

I can see the point you are attempting to make but I don't think your comparison is exactly fair. Aren't the wheels you posted wheels that have been damaged and repaired by Discount? You need to compare apples to apples I think.

 

I have one 18 inch front wheel with a small curb buff i'll sell for 300.I don't have the car anymore,so i don't need it.It would cost 40 bucks to make it perfect.Of course it might make a good tabletop drink holder..lol.

 

 

The stock Nismo wheels really aren't all that. I prefer 19s all around, so the 18/19 stagger was not my style. I sold mine for $1500, bought a set of Volk RE30s (19x10 fr/19x11 rear), flat black....I don't remember what my car looked like, but I do rememeber not caring that I no longer have the stock wheels.

Just because its factory does not mean it's best. Same goes for the suspension. I have adjustable coilovers and honestly, on the race setting they out perform stock. Also...the exhaust...yeah, it's the same as any other 350Z, only the tips are different. Redo the cats all the way back with true dual and and you'll pull more torque and similar HP as a stock 370.

Of course, none of us can really hack on anyone who wants to maintain the original vehicle. Mine is probably devalued to a Sentra now (LOL). Oh well.
