Default Got offered stock Track Z rims for $1000? For Enthusiast Z, yes or no?

Do I buy the Nissan 18"s YES OR NO?

Guy wants to sell his 04 18" Track model forged rims. Brand/very new Bridgestone tires. Lowered the price to $900 after talking today when he found a pair of chrome 20" rims that he wanted from a catalog. No scratches, cant be bent, very little tread wear. Buying them Tuesday. Good deal, yes or no?

Here is a link to a picture of the rims, not the actual, but same kind as his: http://miami-payless-cars.ebizautos....rc=eBay&pid=23

Since all Z's are essentially the same, yes, they'll fit on your car just as well as they do the GT. Price sounds pretty good if it includes tires and TPS. Not sure why you would need lowering springs, again all of the Z models are essentially the same. His came from the factory about the same height as yours.

Yes but I am going from 17" front and back to 18" and 19". I beleive the car ia 2004 so the rims are also, but the tires are brand new and they looked uncratched.

You are looking at forged mono block wheels. It is impossible to find after market wheels of equal quality and weight for $1,000. Impossible.

Keep this in mind: Your next tires will be considerably more expensive than 17-inch tires. Is that OK?

They were the same as these, with brand new tires: http://miami-payless-cars.ebizautos....rc=eBay&pid=23

So I should deffinately take them for $1000? I have the darker silver Z, I figure they will look nice. I was going to go with silver or gun metal/polished rims.

uh, those are 03-05 track wheels. $1000 if they have almost new tires otherwise they usually go for less now. the 06-07 grand touring wheels were the wheels most of thought you were getting.

Well they still look better than the 03 Enthusiast 17" that I got right now. Would it be worth getting those since the tires are pretty much new? Or should I try to go for something else? If you can show me some brands/rims that won't cost more than $1500 with tires and delivered to my door, that would be awesome. Ive been looking in the gallery and I love the Roja and Axis Shines but id imagine they cost too much.

in that case, its worth it especially if you need new tires. they look better and weigh less then your 17's.

Id say my tires are 60 percent remaining. Starting to lose the smaller holes, about worn them to the base of those. Still enough before the final bar, least 6 months-year left.

I'm selling my Rays 19" OEM G35 rims if your interested. Comes with tires as well. Selling for around the same price range as well. Plus it looks a lot different than the ones you ahve on right now. These are forged as well.

Yes I figured that out, 18" front and rear, measured them today to double check. Also lowered the price to $900 because he wants some chrome 20" rims. Good deal? Not sure which Bridgestone tires they are, but if they are somewhere like $200 a tire, I would think its a good price.

Heh not really a friend, more like a regular I met at the audio shop I've been going to for the audio problems I've been having. The ones he is looking at were pretty nice.
