fx 45 wheels vs GTR wheels (not much info out there)

Ive spent most of my day looking for GTR wheels on a G coupe, didnt see much. I did find some sedans and M45s with them on there.

But then I looked up the price of GTR wheels, rather not spend 2k+ on OEM wheels. (E2 pay doesnt allow a car paynment and 500+ a wheel)

So my budget mind kicked in, and noticed the FX45 wheels look like GTR wheels, I saw a post of someone running a set, without the center cap cover it looks "ALMOST" dead on with a GTR wheel problem is its only 8" (get them widened to 10.5 +)

Anyone ran these wheels on a G coupe or have more updated info on them?

Here go some comparisons of the wheels, did it kinda quick today though.

As you can see the FX wheels use a center cap, the gtr wheels dont but look how similiar they are.

Wait, so all FX35/45 wheels are only x8 in width? That's awful. Otherwise I'd like to see the pics you saw of them on a sedan.

I agree OEM GT-R wheels are hot, but the price does make pulling the trigger on them difficult.

Yeah that's what I said 8" I want to see how much it is to widen a set to 10.5 in the rear. There's quite a few sedans with gtr wheels and even fxs with gtr wheels but no coupes with either. I found a 370z with great wheels but gtr tires it was to tall. I have rays on my 03 but I like to mod island weighing options right now
