That pic was of the prototype he got in last week so I believe initial shipment should be in the next month or so.

I would guess similar to the others depending on size, but club members get a special discount.

I thought so too until you look at the closer and then it is obvious how different they are.

Thanks again for those detailled information.

280 for the 5 spoke and 281 for the mesh

They should be in stock in the next moth or so from what I heard.

I'm wondering if I should wait for those mesh wheels (281)...The tires on my 17" rims are totally gone! I'm not sure I'll be able to wait any longuer...
Anyway, if anybody gets more info on the 281, please let us know...

Thanks,

How about mounting some on a G35 Coupe as well? I'm probably going to buy either the 279's or the new 280's in a couple of months, and I'd love to see what they look like on a G.

I have the chrome 279 on my blk 06' G35c 6MT. Check out the pics on the G35driver forum "BBQ Run Pictures" thread. Sorry, its not the best pics.

We get them locally as the gm for Status Wheels, manufacturers of the Ruff line, is a member of our club and their warehouse is in Ft Lauderdale.

Once you install the new modified wheels and tires, what/how do you do about the computer's tire pressure sensor alarm which goes off twice whenever I start the car? Will a Nissan dealer disconnect it for me? Can I still retain the other computer functions without the tire pressure sensor?
