Default New Rims?

Sup Fellas, Been thinking of buying a set of new GT wheels. Nissan quoted me about $3200.00 Brand New and thats with a 10% discount. Can I get something aftermarket that is nicer and cheaper like a set of VOLKS or Nismo? I wanted to go oem nissan because I had a bad experiance with a set of new aftermarket wheels of my Z32TT. Had front vibration problems after 60mph and there was no balance that would solve the problem. So I went back to stock and sold the rims. Lost money by the way. With the stock rims car drove back to normal. Need your opinions.

Thanks

Check tirerack.com for prices. There are other vendors on this site that sell WHEELS, you should check them out too.

There are some good deals in the marketplace here or as I did get them off ebay, this set should go for under $1k with rubber

I allready have those wheels from the factory. I'm refering to the rays wheels that are on the 06/07 Grand Touring / Nismo models.18" front and 19" rear.

If I was in the market for wheels, I would check the marketplace. But that's just me.

+1, I've seen GT wheels FS occasionally. Hold out for a used set.

$20 for hub centric rings would have fixed everything

Try the marketplace--> classifieds. Grand touring wheels and rubber go for around $2k or less.
