I have a 2010 G37x. I'm looking for some 17" x 7.5" winter rims with 45mm offset. Saw some second hand Mercedes rims for a good price. The size is listed as; 225/45 R17. Do you think they would work? Any suggestions for a low cost winter rim in Canada?

Mercedes has a different bolt pattern, you need a 5x114.3 or 5x4.5 pattern.
I think there's been some guys running steel wheels for winter, they would be affordable and should be available in the size you need. A 17x7.5 +35 to +45 offset should suffice.

Thanks for the tip. I've had problems with steel rims rusting out quickly in the salty Canadian winters. I thought I might try to hunt down some second hand aluminum wheels. Maybe it would be safest just to stick with a new set of steel ones.

You could post a WTB (Want To Buy) thread in the classifieds (once you get 10 posts and wait 48 hrs.) for a OEM 17x7.5" set, maybe find someone within a reasonable drive that would sell them. Any G35/37 17" stock aluminum wheels will work.

Where are you located? I've been running RTX wheels for the last 4 years and they haven't had any issues with the finish. They're a flat black wheel that were something like $130 each.

Where did you get the RTX wheels? Are they steel? I live in Toronto.

What about IS300 wheels? I plan on using them this winter and would like some feedback

IS300 wheels have a 60.1mm hub bore, Infiniti has a 66.1mm bore, you'd need a spacer at least as thick as the hub ring to run those wheels.
