Default Anyone know who makes these wheels?

I haven't posted much...but this was before I finally got a Z of my own. So I was browsing for wheels today and came across these. The pics say VMR wheels and I did a search on them and found they only sell this wheel for Euro cars. Never heard of them, but regardless I think they look pretty damn good what do you guys think?

Okay...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say those are VMR V715's?!?!?!?! And they do make them for other than Euro cars...Google.

I'm sorry to be a noob, but I did do an extensive search on google and was only able to find pictures of these wheels on Euro cars. If you could point me in the right direction or give me more information on these wheels I definitely appreciate it. tia

you don't make wheels for euro cars or jdm cars, you make them for offsets and bolt patterns

if the rims have the same bolt pattern, the hub hole (no idea what it is called for some reason, but the center open area where the centercap goes) we do and are in our offset range, you are set.

also, let me say that I would like those rims if the spokes didn't curve in at the lip.

Now you're confusing me...I said I could only find these wheels on Euros, besides the ones I found above. I was in no way implying that the G35 coupe was a Euro car. The second poster said he saw these wheels on cars other than Euro cars...so I just wanted to know where because I couldn't find any.

I'm pretty noobish in regards to terms, but I think it's called Centre Bore...where the wheel hub lines up to. I could be wrong though.

Well here's info I found on the sizes available for this wheel:

Size / Bolt Pattern / Offset / Lip / Weight
19x8.5 / 5x120 / +38 / 2.25" / 26 lbs
19x9.5 / 5x120 / +45, +22, +30 / 3.0" / 26.5 lbs

So it looks like the best setup you will get for a Z would be:
Front - 19x8.5 +38 (maybe you can use a 15mm spacer)
Rear - 19x9.5 +22 (not bad, but maybe use a 10mm spacer to go more aggressive if desired)

This setup will run you 998.99 at http://www.modbargains.com/product.a...elocityV715_PR

I would run the 19x9.5+22 all around. the front fitment is lame.

and noodleman: you are right, it's 'center bore'! good call!

This was my initial thought as well, but I don't know how it would look NOT being staggered. This seems (to me at least) like the type of wheel you want to be staggered.

Might not look bad now that I think about it again. Perhaps someone with some photochop skillzzzzz can help out with the visual?

I looked at the Mod bargains website, and they don't list the wheel in the correct bolt pattern for our Nissans...

If I can get a set for as much as they listed...that would be a steal for a set of wheels like these!
