Anyone know what wheel this is?

Looking to get new wheels for my G37s, being that there is a slight lip, I doubt it will fit. They suggest that they will fit a Z, but what about a G with a BBK?


They are 18x8 with 38mm offset. They say the bore is around 65mm, I am guessing 66.1.

I would pass strictly on looks, nice that they are forged but IMO that style doesn't suit the G, but that's just my O.

I agree, they look like they belong on a cadillac

I am looking at a lot of rims. Found these they are 19x8 and I guess 25lbs.





I once got a set of wheels for my Suzuki Swift GT. I never knew that the factory Bore was 54.1, no wonder why std hub centric rings weren't available. Had vibration when they weren't mounted right.

That wheel would look much better, what is your budget? Do you know the offset on those?

I think they are 35. I want to spend 1k or less. I found a set of 18x8.5 OZ Ultraleggera, unfortunately they are 5x112. Apparently the guy who was selling them wanted 5x114.3, didn't realize they weren't that size til he got them. Would have been great at under 19 lbs each. I have been looking at some BBS off a Evo X, but most are asking over 1k, they are light and good looking.

I would like to get something lighter than the stock wheels. I could always buy a pair of rear duck feet and make it a square setup. It is funny, I hardly rotated my old car with a square setup.

OZ are a nice quality set, you could use 114.3 to 112 adapters if you have room to go out w/ the offsets.

The OZ are +40, I doubt there is enough space. I would be nervous using adapters.

It does get tricky as finding the 66.1mm hubcentric adapters would probably be a custom machining, which would take away a lot of the cost savings
G/L w/ your search.

I wonder if I would even need Hub Centering wheels with such a small difference between the wheels and the hub. I did find some that are metal, yet made in china for $20. I found these other wheels, yet one is bent. I don't think they will last long. They are around 22lbs. Tell me what you think.





Just found these as well. Look Heavy.

Those black ones are pretty good looking, is the bent one repairable perhaps, or do they still make them and getting a new one still within your budget?

FWIW there are some youtube clips of how to run 112mm on a 114.3 pattern, but definitely proceed w/ caution there.

They are Enkei. They say repairable, they look repairable. I can probably get them for 400 and a replacement should be around $150.

One option just came up, I found someone with a rear duckfoot. I was hoping he had two. Instead he has one rear and one front. He says it has a 255/50/18 on it, which is weird. I could go and order another duckfoot for about 125, he wants 79. I am considering it. Truth is, I would rather get something new.

After a cleaning I saw my wheels and thought, they don't look too bad.

I do like the TSW Interlagos, those are pretty nice.

I found these, they are made in China though. I was told they are 18x8 +33. Don't know their hub center.

There's a lot of great options from Enkei with about $1k for a set with the non racing wheels.
