What I was doing (you should consider the same) was lurking the following forums since Volks are up on the FS sections ALL the time:
evolution M
Naisoc
S2ki
Acurazine
the370z
iwsti
All of the above forums have tons and tons of Volks for usually fair prices and you'll find a goldmine of other JDM choices. The hardest part is usually finding offsets that you can run lol. I've been considering TE37SLs but my options were more limited due to having AWD. Happy hunting!

Z1 magnetic oil drain bolt, along with my first UOA. I've been using Castrol Edge Titanium for the past 30,000 miles since I got the car at 60,000 miles. After reading the oil thread here and The370z.com, I decided to make the switch to Mobil 1 0w40.
First impression is that on cold start (following morning was about 35 degrees F) it was more quiet and motor seems more 'smooth'. I am happy to have made the switch.

Unfortunately only a 1 year warranty. Inforged is a Taiwanese brand, doubt I would have any luck with that in Canada anyways. I'll get it welded up for $100. Just sucks that yet another expense added to my list. Going to get them repaired, paint them, and sell them. Might have a harder time selling them now that this happened. Not everyone will want repaired wheels. I have my eyes on a set of BBS wheels I like. Tough finding the offsets I want on pre-made wheels with the width that I want. Hopefully I can find something with 9.5 width and 20ish offset. I love the fitment on my winter wheels with 9.5 +28. Could be a tiny bit more aggressive, so anything between 20 and 25.
My impulsive self is looking at this: https://www.sparktecmotorsports.com/...55114ma20.html
But my practical self cant force itself to spend that much money on a 7 year old car with 123 k km on it.

Oh wow, that really sucks, Andy. What kind of air pressure are you running?
I know its a hassle, but a good wheel repair shop can weld and repair that wheel and make it look like new again.... so don't fret too much about it.

Yup, already got a quote. For those wheels I was running 35 psi.
Infiniti's automatic transmission is definitely a weak point in our cars. I've been FI for around 7 or 8 years now and am already on my 3rd OEM transmission. Both times Infiniti replaced it under warranty, so I am very happy for that, but now that the car is out of warranty I'm now considering having it rebuild by Level 10 to handle all the extra power/torque. I'm already running a extra transmission cooler along with an upgraded valve body but the OEM clutch packs just can't handle all that extra power.
