We are running a special on Forged Nismo Bronze wheels for a very low price. PM me for price, it might be a very good alternative to cheap aftermarkets or OEM.

Keep your wheel as is and save your money on paint and put it towards your new aftermarket wheel fund

Stock and chrome are a bad combination. If your gonna go with a VIP finish like chrome you gotta get VIP Sizes and offsets. But im more of a lightweight 1 piece forged kinda guy.

+1. I would definitely stay away from any of the other Nissan OEM wheels as there are quite a few instances of cracking.
