Has anyone got rims from Ebay?

I like the following 3. Are these good prices? Good brands? Would our TPS fit?

that's stock tires size for the coupe 18s and the 350z, so yes, a lot of people have that size.

If you wanna go wider.....throw on 245/40/18 and 265/40/18

That may be true with mistreatment.......but if you garage the car, keep them waxed up it should be fine.

The thing with these cheap wheels is that they are super heavy and the quality is hit or miss depending on company. Some if these wheels you will end up spending more on tires for them than wheels itself....

LOL! These are in the past 6 years or so and 2 of them are my Dad's cars that I bought wheels off Ebay for.
I change cars a lot and not to mention my wife's cars as well.

If you get the ADR's let us know how you like them. I am thinking about getting the last set, silver with chrome lip. I don't race so I can't see spending 2k+ for rims.

They look okay but you're going to pay another $700+ for decent tires. For the $1700-$1900 you've have spent, I'd go with a set of better quality used for cheaper. But that's just me.

Just gotta be careful buying used. I got burnt one time on some Mercedes wheels that ended up being repaired wheels. One of them was split down the middle and re-welded back together. The weld was a NASTY weld and wavy and not a professional job. It was a wonder it would balance out.

Just need to inspect them VERY well when buying used.

But on the flipside the wheels that are pictured on the black C320 above are used wheels and they were perfect...
