I've been looking for 2008 G35X 18x7.5" rims for the past 5 months. Should of jumped on a few deals but didn't so I'm contemplating new rims, from the dealers.

The lowest price I've seen for new rims are roughly $600 a rim, including shipping, so that is roughly $2400 for a set, excluding TPMS and center cap... Has anyone seen new OEM rims cheaper than that? Also, why in the world are Infiniti rims so expensive? OK, they're made by Enkei, but so are Honda rims and Honda rims aren't that expensive....

are u talking about the 18x7.5 off the X or the 18x7.5 18x8.5 off the sport? If so, i'm taking my sport wheels off in a couple weeks. You might wanna check the 18 inch FS thread in the marketplace

I'm trying to get them used but not much luck so far.. Looked on Craigslist, ebay, here, g35nyc, freshalloy.. Don't feel like dealing with aftermarket right now, reason being I don't want to deal with centering rings, spacers to get the proper offset..

There are people selling them staggered and I don't want to deal with the hassle of buying 2 sets staggered and having to sell the 4 rear's I'd have...

Yeah, they sure stick it to you....

Thanks but you'd probably get in trouble.... Plus I'm in Northern NJ..

I like the look of the sport rims... The coupe rims don't do it for me....
