Default Need Some Info On 5Spoke 18" Z wheels

I need some information on which Z's had the 5spoke 18" wheels.
I know the 35thanniversary and GT4 Edition's had these wheels.
I know for sure the 08 Track Editions had them.


Are these all the same size?
Track V2 is their name correct?
18x8's up front
18x8.5's in the rear.

This is all I know so far since im looking for these wheels and hoping they are not in different widths.

Thanks, I'm on a low budget for some good loving 5spoke Z wheels. I don't like chrome, but i'll take polished.. even if they have nicks and scratches. I need info, thanks everyone!

08' track edition?
The 35th anniversary wheels and the 06s and later had 18x8 and 18x8.5 wheels, like this:



These are on the 08+ GTs, which are 18"FR and 19"RR

The 5 spoke 18" wheels are the Touring v.2 wheels. They started with the 2005 Anniversary and then were standard on all trims other than Track and Grand Touring starting in '06. They are 18x8 +30, 18x8.5 +33.

The v.2 Track wheels are 5 spoke as well with 18x9 front and 19x10 rear. 30mm offsets on both.

The regular wheels are squeeze cast and will break on severe impact.

The track wheels are wider and is a forged set.
These will deform on similar impact. It is a superior wheel imho.

One of the best OEM wheels out there.

I've been on forums for more than 5 years lol.
350Z's are new to me. but when it came to technical stuff like different wheels on different trims and all, that's something i never knew.

Oh well, I thank all of ye posters.

Raycs7, onllyyy if I hit something I admit the track wheels are strong by standards (made by Rays Engineering, what else? lol)

Put some 305/35/19 on those GT stockers and the rear fills out nicely.
As soon as the 245's wear out I will fit 265/35/18 on the fronts.
