The rim looks good except the ridiculous amount of lug holes, make the wheel look very generic and not "custom". IMO, find a set of wheels that have the correct bolt pattern for your specific car.

why do wheels have to stand out in some stupid obnoxious way these day?
I'd rather get wheels that fit my criteria and look as if they belong on the car
multipiece is heavier by usually 5-7 lbs per wheel
the only advantage they have is if you damage the wheel you might be able to replace just the damaged part instead of the whole wheel. I'd probably rather just replace the whole wheel anyway instead of dealing with shipping my wheel somewhere to be fixed and waiting etc

Damn. Why the hatin' on Nismos?
Beautiful set of wheels. I think the extra holes only serve to further reduce weight. Multipiece wheels are more about giving the manufacturer/customer the ability to custom fit a basic wheel design to different cars. These Nismos are custom made to fit the 350z, so no need for multipiece.

I was very close to purchasing the SSW Sp1's in black, but I think the aggressive black/polished look would take away from the car (not to mention they weighed more). I want people to look at the car and say "nice car" not "nice wheels"
multi-piece wheels look real busy and complicated with the rivets, and I feel would get old over time. The Nismos are light, strong, and will always make me smile when I look at them
The extra holes don't really bother me, I mean you're going to see the rotors anyways. BTW there is only one bolt pattern on this wheel.
To those that are curious, I got these for $2600 shipped
