Default What wheels are these?

Long story short, these wheels came with my Z. I was originally told that they were the "Premium" touring rims package. But despite some searching, they don't seem to match anything I've seen on a stock Z. Anybody know what these are?

That has to be the worst wheel offered as oem. I'd rather keep my base model 17's...

Are they really that bad? I thought they were tacky at first, but they've honestly grown on me...

They are pretty bad. Chrome doesn't suit the Z well. If you want a 5 star wheel with OEM quality I would look into the 06+ wheels.

At least these came chromed from the factory

Honestly OP, I thought everyone knew that these were the accessory wheels? Did you pickup your Z without a brochure and not see it in there?

yeah unfortunately. the other oem wheel choices (V1 Track, Touring, Grand Touring, Nismo etc.) are nicer imo.

haha sorry, I haven't been active on this site till recently. I joined a few years ago cause I was originally looking for a Z back then. A few life changes made me put it on hold until recently.

06+ wheels are still only 8.5" wide right? If so, I'll most likely just wait till I can afford some good quality aftermarket ones.

So if I sell these stock rims, how much would you guys say I can get for them? Searching around I see some people selling stockers for $200 for a set and some for $800+ so I have no idea what they're worth....
