Yea well last I checked I don't remember seeing any Camry's in drifting competitions/carshows. The GT-R is the hottest car in the import scene......not driving your kids to soccer practice.

op g37 wheels may fit but they look like crap on coupes and 350z's. their offsets are closer to sedans.

rays isnt going to lower the status of the gtr by making replicas so dont count on it.

as for other companies, eh. domestics are the ones who really do oem replicas, there are very few for import cars. i really dont see it taking off but you might get lucky.

Everything you are saying makes sense. I'm from the Corvette scene where reproductions are common. With the new GTR being such a huge hit, we can only hope it's wheel will be the 1st import wheel sold as a mass produced repro. I just want something that will fit a big brake kit and will be around for a long time. I think the GTR wheel is the best choice to fit that criteria.

The GTR uses 245/40/20 fronts and 285/35/17 rears.

I was thinkin the same thing, but just went ahead with rear coupe 19x8.5's on all corners.

Congrats on the new wheels! How did you find them, where did you get them, and how much did you pay? What tires did you go with? How much and from where?

Do you plan to upgrade the brakes and what did you have in mind?

Please post some pics in this thread in you can. Good luck with the new setup.

Fixed.

Everything GTR related seems to be overpriced by 1000%, but I gotta ask.
What is the dealer cost on the OEM front wheels for the GTR?

Dealer cost on wheels is always astronomically high for some reason..

20's in the front and 17's in the back.. thats crazy to me.. a 17 inch 285 tire most be about 400 bucks just for one tire.. odd number tires cost more than even number tires for example 20's are cheaper than 19's

Personally, I think they'd look tight on the 350Z. The 350Z's rims looks similar, don't they? Just less spokes and a lighter color.
