+10K for aggrevation, +250K for emotional distress. It all doesnt matter, people sue for lesser crap then this for more then 5K. For crying out loud, does anyone remember the idiot lady that sues mc'd for hot coffee incident that got millions for it when she won? Who the hell doesnt know coffee is hot is a idiot.
OMG And they say roats are bad. Never seen on e do that lol wow!!!!! I would cry

I wonder if this has anything to do with the issues with the wheels Made in Thailand? There was a recall on the 2000 Xterra 16" silver wheels too, they were Made in Thailand by TSW and they had many issues with cracks in the spokes.

well my dad is a lawyer, so we'll get to the bottom of this case..
ill keep u guys posted.
As for the rims... im pretty sure these are just the stock chromes... ive seen another Z around town with my same rims. not too common though. i got this Z used, but there was no evidence of any kind of mods to the wheels.

The quality of this particular rim (pictured above) should not be questioned. I blew a tire, and drove 4.5 miles on the rim @ 60+mph. (Dont ask why, you will not recieve an answer)
The rim lost only chunks around the edges. The spokes did not fail, nor did they crack.

The rim in Davidv's pic is 5 spoked; one that came apart is 6 spoked. Not factory chrome.
I came with hours of ordering set of OEM wheels with aftermarkert chrome a few weeks back. Thanks to davidZ#3 for pointing out prolem. Phew....................................
