Default Buying OEM Grand Touring Wheels

I'm thinking about getting some OEM 2006-2008 Grand Touring wheels. 18x9 & 19x10. Is there a legit place to get them? I found some sites and they were selling the 4 wheels for a total of ~ $842 from one place, and another site selling for ~$1200s. They are OEM replacements, but just wondering are they any good?

$842 is a good price depending on the shipping cost. im thinking of getting rid of mine but prefer locals only. unless you want to pay for shipping?! ;]

I like mine (I have a 2006 GT Coupe) but take a look at tire prices before you buy the rims. Tire combinations for them can be expensive compared to the other stock rim options.

I'm mostly concerned about the websites I found selling legitimate Rays or just OEM replicas. However in their pics they got the FORGED and RAYS ENG.

My original plan was to buy the rims on the For Sales section but since the GT is pretty rare, wasn't sure if there be many for sale.

I have 06-08 OEM Grand Touring wheels and just bought a set of Ventus V12's for about $850 shipped. That price includes the certificates. Got them from Discount Tire Direct. Without the certificates, I think they were around $715 shipped. I did have to go one size wider for the rears cause the stock rears are VERY hard to find in just about any brand. Got 275 vs 265. I originally wanted the Continental Extreme Contact DW's but they were impossible to find anywhere near the sizes I wanted (trying to stay as close to stock as possible). BTY, I'm liking the V 12's much better than I thought I would..

I have Rays on my 2006 GT. I did some research and see that they sell for $400 a wheel, new. I found a site that sells reconditioned Rays for around $312 a wheel (http://www.nissan-auto-and-parts.com...y62461u85.html).
I think they are some of the best looking and best performing wheels Nissan ever put on a 350z.
