I too have the Rays wheels on my Touring 6sp. They look much better than stock. I got mine with tires and TPS for $1,200. I also like the way the wheels match the car. I thought about the Nismo wheels, but with the extra cost of new tires too versus what I paid for the Track wheels I decided to go with the Tracks.

Many people like the 6 spoke look and would rather have the Track Rays than Nismos.

Many people who have Performance or Touring models would like the upgrade. Makes them look like a Track from afar.

GY-Z: the Nismos are about a pound less than the stock rays but after your put more rubber on them they probably are about even.

As for the cost of Nismo $1800.00 plus shipping, plus mount and balance. Plus the stock tire will fit but if you have VDC you have to get bigger tires Frt 245/40-18 RR 275/40/18. Goodyear F1 cost $1100.00 for the set of 4 installed.

Some people would choose to upgrade to Track for $1600.00 possibly get a set of tires with them, maybe TPS, without having to shell out the money for new rubber liek wiht the Nismos.

As a matter of fact I too will be joining the Nismo 18 club in a week or so, and I will have a set of Track Rays for sale.

Whoever buys mine will get a brand new set of stock potenzas on the front(less than 100 miles) courtesy of Nissan Tire TSB.

I hope this helps.
Well, my motivation for going with the Ray's was simply that I like the wheels better than the other 18's. When I spec'd the car out I requested the Ray's & the daeler refused but of course would give me a great deal at $1,300.00 each. I could have loaded up a Track model & spent a few thousand more but I couldn't find 1 in BY and I really didn't want to spend the extra money any way. Nismo's were my 2nd choice.

Default Yeah I love the Track Rims..

I totally love the track rims, and would gladly buy a set...but people are asking just way too much, IMO. I think an excellent condition low-mileage set is worth more like $1200 (w/o TPS and tires). Instead I see guys with rims with 10,000 miles on them asking almost 2 large...if anyone sees a good deal let me know! I like the nismos too, but I don't really need (ie can't afford) the larger tires.

Well, considering they're 1300 to 1600 from the dealer new the price used varies quite a bit. I paid 1500 for my set /w only 12 miles on them (no tires or tps). I thought it was a great deal. I would have paid up to 2k with rubber & sensors.

Default Bixby you got a deal.

I would have snagged those in an instant. :-) I really want some with low low miles like yours, as my car has extremely few miles.
