The wheels should already come with their own center caps. This is a set I spotted a few years ago on the dealership lot.

Did the set that you bought not include them? if so that is weird

Unfortunately, no centercaps, valve stems, or lug nuts. The nuts and stems are no problem, however the centercaps are turning into a real PITA. I was told just a while ago that the standard 350Z/370Z centercaps from pretty much any of the factory wheels will work, but Nissan wants $50 per cap from the dealership. I'm going to try and find a decent used set (I can always blast and paint them or put NISMO labels on them if they are too rough) somewhere.
Thanks for merging the threads!! I'm as old-school as they come and I'm definitely not particularly internet-savvy, so please forgive my lack of basic knowledge about etiquette and finding my way around this thing. I'm learning (slowly), but I doubt I ever get really proficient with it because I simply don't have time/interest to get on the 'net too much (But I AM discovering that it can be a wonderful research tool!!). This is what happens when you give an old-fart a computer and a sports car!!!!

I would suggest making a WTB post here and I'm sure someone can help you out:

Yes they work, they just aren't the ideal specs but spacers can fix that.
There is already someone with these wheels in this thread:

I do not see them being a problem with your Brembos especially if you add spacers to them.
What are your offsets?

offsets are +25 front and +15 rear. i had to roll the rear fenders to fit them with it being lowered.

Finally got my LMZ5's on the car. Haters are welcome to hate, but I think the wheels look wicked on a roadster. Springs to drop it an inch F/R are on the way. Throw on a Nismo V2 nose/skirts/back pieces and my Shine C20-clone spoiler and the exterior will be as done as I want to go with it. Then the fun starts underneath the car............................
Hopefully this works (I've never tried to post pics on-line before, lol).

Lol. Yeah, that was a cheap pick-up/bad idea. Gonna replace the nose soon anyway with a Nismo V2 front bumper. Billet works on old hot rods --- not so much so with sportscars! If I don't buy the new bumper in the next few weeks I'll probably go ahead and yank the cheesy grill.

No spacers of any kind on the rear wheels. At the time of these pics I was running a 15mm spacer on the fronts, but I discovered later that evening that my wheels were actually resting on the tips of the old lugs poking through the bolt-on spacers!! I replaced the spacers with some Ichiba 20mm bolt-on's the next day and everything is great. Any more offset and they would be close to coming out of the wheel wells -- but there is still plenty of clearance for dropping the car a bit. With the LMZ5's you definitely want to go with a 20mm (25mm would probably work too) spacer in the front.
