^^^ Not likely. They have all been made for Nissan by other companies. Besides Rays, some have been made by Enkei.

I would agree on chinese.....i think a lot of them are crap. I have a 07 and there are parts of the wheels that have pretty much just flaked off....NOT road rash.
Also, I have heard from a couple people that powdercoated that the metal started leaching through and the wheels just looked like hell.

Woof.


As for the rims, I'd go with the "Ray or Enkei" response.
