this is to let everyone know if you bought your z with chrome rims you are in for a big surprise. i was having my z serviced at dealer and they where very kind to let me know all 4 rims where cracked and car was not safe to drive. they quoted me 3067.00 for a set of new ones. i have in my hands a service bulletin from nissan advising dealers to quit chroming rims cause it weakens them and will crack. thats exactly what mine did. so my advise is to take your car back to dealer before you have a serious accident. the dealer will try to give you the run around so call nissan customer service. this is very serious matter can you imagine your rim falling apart at a high rate a speed. you can be seriously injured or worst yet death.

 

and that is oem chrome - looks like this right ?

 

haha $3067 what the F is that bulshi*...with that kind of money you could buy some sick rims

 

im sorry to say, but chromed out stock rims looks ghetto as hell.

 

^^^definitely agree!

 

Welcome to the forum. Welcome to last year (when the news about the rims came out). Here's the full story... https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...0z-wheels.html

Note that the problem is not with factory chromed rims, but with re-chromed rims. Those are the ones being done improperly.

 

+1, why would anyone buy a Z from the dealer with chrome wheels?

 

Easy - because they sell them.

 

Sorry to hear your rims cracked, for $3000 screw getting OEM rims you can get something quality like Volk, Work, iForged, DPE, etc.

 

if the bulletin you have came before the year of your Z you may have an argument

 

chrome wheels FTL, sounds like a good excuse to get something nice

 

chrome wont get you home..

 

Damn, I dont think he was trying to repost, he's a noob thinking he was looking out for the community.

 

I was going to have my OEM rims chromed until DaveZ#3 posted on the problem.

 

over 60,000miles on my rims just got new tires last month and no cracks

 

this is crazy... I love those wheels and I was really thinking about getting them... but now im screwed cause who knows if the ones I get are original or have been rechromed?? .... this blooooooooooooooooooooooows

 

Chrome FTL............ use the money instead for some aftermarket SBC wheels

 

Poetic justic for chroming a wheel....

 

I don't understand how anyone can like those chrome rims, but to each their own I suppose.

P.S. If you spend 3 grand on those wheels AGAIN, or any factory rim, you have one thing left to do.. shoot your self in the foot.

 

very ghetto ={
