No, wrong offset and wrong lug pattern. Look for something with 5x114.3 lug pattern so it fits and with 15-20 offset range for a decent look.

better but the offset is 30mm, dont the P45R come in 20 or 30 offset.....

the 20 is what you would want....plus, thats 750 + 100 shipping, for 850 total, you can contact wheeldude on this site and wheeldude.com and get them for about that much with the right offset...

General rule of thumb with bargain wheels: softer and heavier. What that means to you: they will not be as durable as a "quality" wheel. No wheel is indestructable (except for Speedline ) but there are degrees of durability. Beware of wheel manufacturers that do not list weights of their wheels. If this info is omitted, it means that they're heavy, probably very heavy. Will you notice? Good question. It depends how heavy it is. Most people will not notice a couple of pounds on each corner. Once you add 5lbs+, you'll definitely feel it. That effect is also more noticeable the larger you go on the size of the wheel. A 20" 30lb wheel will feel a lot heavier when you drive it than a 18" 30lb wheel because of the rotational inertia.

If you're OK with those sacrifices, go for it. Lastly, beware of high offsets. They look bad on a Z and change the dynamics of the car slightly.

yep. if you don't want to spend the premium on some of the forged / high end wheels, rotas are an excellent choice. I suggest going to wheeldude.com - he is a vendor here. contact him via phone or AIM and he will answer any question you can throw at him.

Rotas are great if you are on a budget. Check out their selection: www.wheeldude.com Go to the 350Z section, they only sell wheels that will fit your car properly. Dan @ wheeldude will set you up; great guy!

Terrible offsets. Look for the Enkei RPF01
