Yup... $500 per rim. $500 x 4 rims = $2,000. But like Alindo said, Performance Nissan has them at $1,850 a set of 4. If I were you, I'd give Jeff@performance or Jason@performance a PM.

Again - I can get Nismo wheels for $1799. plus $60 for shipping. If interested PM me.

Note to Discount Tire - I have bought all my tires from you for the last 12 years. I just bought 2 sets from an outlet in Tucson. The SP9000s mounted on my Nismos and another set of Dunlops (GT Qualifiers) for my truck. I have also recommend you guys on the other forums I post to - (myg35 driver and freshalloy) one of them is sponsered by The Tire Rack. Please, leave my post alone. I didn't realize you had access to my posts. If you want to keep me as a customer, and keep me recommending you, you'll do as I ask. But, right now, I feel you have some nerve.

Was this really necessary. He is not making money off this. It was just helpful info. Geez! There are plenty of places on this board where others say where you can get great prices on items.

This is not the vendor section.

Wow! I should've waited for the vendor war on these Nismo products.

I paid 2g's for the Nismo wheels through Performance, AND I had to pay for the lug wrench adapter!!! Still great service, but Yikes!!!

Well, as things heat up, I'll wait it out for the GT shift **** and floor mats that I still want.

This is no vendor war, as Vandy said I am not a vendor, I was just trying to help you guys out by telling you about the great deal I got, and the great service. It's been blown out of proportion now. BTW, the $1799. price also includes the adapter wrench.

Sorry, just a figure of speech, lowrider!

The only thing "blown" IMO is that there appears to be a little more leeway in terms of price on Nismo products--and that's a GOOD thing! Your's and any other info is what we're all here for--and if the "vendors" want to compete for our $'s...that's a good thing too!

...just my $.02

If I order Nismo wheels and get them shipped to me, do I need to have them installed (pressure sensors) by a Nissan dealer in order to have them be under warranty?

have an experienced tire shop mount and ballance your tires.. dont want a dealer scratching your new nismos!!!!

most dont know how to change a 18" tire let alone a 17" without scratching the wheel... most just dont have the proper machine..

you will need to have your tire pressure sensors rest by your dealer...

i dont know what they would charge... i can ask though...

What're the biggest tires that'll fir on those Nismos? 245 & 275? And, how much more than the Track wheels do they weigh?

The 245/275 combination is the size recommended by Nismo. The rears could easily take 285/40s however, if one were so inclined. However, IMO, the 245/275 combination work great with our cars. Understeer is greatly reduced, the extra rubber on the front really increases the handling prowess of the "Z" and the "G". I am really happy with this mod.

As far as weight goes, it is my understanding that each wheel weighs about 18lbs each, about the same as the Track Rays. The Track's may be a fractional amount lighter because they are not as wide. The Nismos are also made by Rays, and are also forged. The Nismos have a polished lip (and center section) that the Track's don't have, and have five spokes vs. six. IMO, an odd number of spokes on a wheel looks better than an even amount.

Thought i'd resurrect this thread...

Do the 19" LM-GT4s support the TPS?

How much are they running right now? Shipped to Louisville, KY?

Also, if anyone knows where I can find pics of a Z with the nismo suspension and the 19"s on it (pref DB with silver rims) also the Nismo aero kit... this is what I am planning on going with...eventually.

One last thing. Is there anyway to put a flat center cap on it? All i see on japanparts.com are the raised center caps... and I would prefer a flat one.

Thanks!!!
