I have a pic of the Kazera wheels on my G but can't figure out how to post it.

By the way according to the info in the box with the wheels they are warranted by BBS.

Default When I got mine

I had to wait a month and then the truck with the back wheels was held at customs for a week. Don't think anyone else has these.

I really, really like them. I was thinking about getting the exact same wheels. After seeing your pictures I will know actually what they will look like.

Thanks for the postings!

Default Looks good

Would someone post pictures of these wheels showing how flush the rims are to the wheel wells? I can't tell with the pictures gringott posted.

gringott- does your z have the tps? if so, did u transfer them over to the new wheels? I'm interested in buying the same wheels you have or possibly others but would like to to be definite on how I can transfer the tp sensors.

Default TPS

I did not transfer the TPS as Tire Rack shipped them mounted and balanced etc.

I have my stock front wheels and tires at Nissan waiting for new tires.

Tire Rack told me that they should fit.

I am trying to find a set for a reasonable amount of money as mounting / unmounting the tires to change out the TPS would be bulls@#t and expensive.

But, short answer, I don't know, for sure, until I try.

Also, be aware that there is a bolt on the front rotors that you have to remove to mount the wheels - Nissan put it there so you wouldn't rotate the tires from the back to the front.

Let me give you a little background. Kazera's are manufactured by ASA in Korea using patented pressure cast technology developed by BBS that ASA uses to manufacture lower priced BBS wheels in Korea also. Confused? This technology bridges the gap between basic cast wheels and high dollar forged wheels, and are very close in weight to forged wheels. My friend has some 18.5lbs 18X7's on his Subaru.
so let me get this straight?? ASA is a cheaper version of BBS and Kazera's are cheaper version of ASA's??? interesting.

saw the pics, looks like a great deal for those looking for another alternative, I bet they sell a ton of them

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it looks to me like the Nismo's have more offset than the Kazera's shown here. I know my Nismo's come out more and are nearly even with the fender lip front and rear.

Nice looking wheels, though.

Front = +30
Rear = +35

Nismo offset
Fr = +25
Rr = +30

Am I reading this right? The Kazeras have more offset?
Can that be why the Kazeras work with the VDC?
(The Nismos are only for Non-VDC)

Offset numbers can be confusing. Bottom line is the Nismo's set a little farther out.

Don't quote me on this, but the Nismo's work just fine with VDC as long as you use the Nissan recommended tire sizes of 245/40–18 front and 275/40–18 rear. The diameter remains the same as the stock wheel and tire combo.
