Winter wheel choices for sport brakes! (rant)
Winter wheel choices for sport brakes! (rant)
It seems there are only two choices for 18" winter wheels on the sport models:
2006-2008 350Z (incl. 2005 anniversary)
Sport Edition A7 from Tirerack
Is this really the case? I love these brakes, but this is a a major PITA. I've been browsing the 350Z and G35/G37 forums looking for used sets of 350Z wheels. Seems I'm not the only one looking for these are they are quite popular.
Adding a wheel spacer may help, but the wheel weights would need to be mounted on the outside of the wheel.

You need to remove a bolt so that there is enough clearance for those wheels.
I too am looking for some cheap alternatives for winter wheel/tires. My last winter was a horrific experience. Summer tires and rolling backwards on an incline was not something I ever wanted [moving from a Subaru].

i am also looking for winter rims. i think the 18'' rims from the '08 - '09 Honda accord coupe V6 will clear the calipers and i know they have the same bolt pattern. if anybody else has any other suggestions please let us know!

There has to be someone out there selling used Sport Edition A7. Someone coming off lease?
We have quite a large selection of snow wheels in 18" available here YMM Winter Tire/Wheel Selector.
I have a set of 18" Fast Apex Wheels with Toyo Garit KX(225/50/R18) tires already mounted that were on my 08 G37S. I bought them brand new last winter and only used them for 3 months, the tires have less than 3,000 kms on them and the rims are in MINT shape and come with spacers. I got rid of the car in May so I don't need them anymore. WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN CANADA AND UNITED STATES... MAKE ME AN OFFER...SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY... THANK YOU!
