I test drove an 06 with them. They looked nice enough but they'll suck after you get curb rash!

Default chrome wheels

nissan does not make the 06-07 wheels in chrome. The wheels are chrome dipped! you can do a chrome exchange for about 600$$!! you can usually find someone on ebay that does it. I believe there name is LA WHEELS!

There is a 5 spoke design in chrome available from Nissan, but it is not the same style as the ones you are thinking about. They look ghey if you ask me. I'd either get them dipped as the poster above stated or just buy a set of aftermarket rims & tires. The only rims worth a damn from Nissan are the new stockers and the Rays wheels that come with the Grand Touring model.

I like the stockers enough not to change em. I don't think chrome looks good on a Z IMO.

They finally got the rims right!

I saw something that looked like chrome on an 07 at a dealer here.
They looked like crap!
Looked like they belonged on a Civic of something. Really cheap looking.

Ugly is a complement for them. They look horrific.

They actually look much worse on the car than in the photo.

I like the looks of the stockers too, especially with wheel spacers but not the skinny OEM tires.
