Well, this is interesting. Very curious to hear what comes of this. I have my winter tires on the OEM duck feet, which I find hideous. Plus. with my new coilovers and small drop, the fitment is even worse. But, perhaps the best fix is a cheap set of wheels.....

I also really like the R3x wheels that @socketz67 linked above

I'm very interested. I still need to 'borrow' a rear V1 Nismo and see what I'd need to do to get it to clear on my Sedan. At 12 years old I'm not afraid to cut and weld LOL.

What's the pricing like vs. the $600-800 each for the real Nismo ones?

So I placed an order for the chrome replica Nismo v1, since it’s the most popular one. Vendor did say it weighs about 1lb heavier in the chrome finish than other finishes.

also ordered a set of replica Volk ZE40 in 18x10.5 +22 to do a visual comparison with the legit Volk ZE40 my brother has.
