Default New Wheels for me! ADR's... got insane deal.

Local dealership has been sitting on some ADR hypersilver M-sports what were on display on a Z in the showroom for a couple of months. Other than that, the wheels and tires are brand new. They're 19's with 245 in the front and 275 for the rears. I had no intention of getting new wheels, but I couldn't pass on the deal. There are a couple of minor scratches, but the parts guy is gonna have them fixed for me. Mounted on some Falken ST-115's, I'm getting all this stuff for real cheap. I'm still waiting for the catch, but I'm pumped. Gonna have them installed next week. Wish me luck!

1K installed. I'm not too pumped about the tires.. but I don't think I can pass on this. Let me know what you think.

Also, let me retract a statement in my first post. They aren't exactly "brand new". Being that they were on a Z in the showroom for a couple of months.

Justin, you really can't go too wrong for 1,000 clams, unless you don't like the style, and even if you didn't, still allright IMHO. I'm more of a spoke fellow, but those look nice too.

I like them...The price is great...But seem too damn hard to clean. I would clean one wheel and give up.

Good luck...

I prefer the spoke look as well. Some Volk Le37's or GT-C's would have been nice, but beggers can't be choosers. However, I do think this mesh wheel looks pretty freakin sweet. I was just looking for new tires, and a set of new so3's on my 18' touring wheels would have cost me just as much.

Ok....... I've been doing my research and I'm worried now. The rears are 275/30 19's. After reading this post:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....light=275%2F30

And numerous others talking about the VDC and slip light issues, I'm a bit worried now. Going to talk to the dealer tomorrow to see what can be done. Knew it was too good to be true.

My local dealer had a pair on a red 350Z in 18's and were asking 4500!!! I laughed in their face and they asked me how much I wanted to pay for them. I said i'd give them 1500 since they came with michelin pilots, which alone are valued over 1g. Anyways they said best they could do was 3700...... I laughed so hard that night
