Good looking wheels.... sucks that they say Nismo though. I wonder if those are stickers or embedded in the wheel.

Personally, I wouldn't rock them if they said Nismo.

I'm sure there's another brand that makes a wheel like that but if not you could have them powder coated. That way it wouldn't say nismo.

nismo did some 57f wheels too that a bunch of people got a good deal on here a little while back. i want to say mysql (don't quote me on that) might have picked up one of those sets. they had a bunch of leftovers and some had stickers, others didn't but they fit and looked pretty good. i think the stickers come off pretty easy and then you're left with some nice wheels.

Those are nice! but then again doesn't it have to be a one piece, so that the TPMS would work?

Hell yeah I did. 17 lb rims - 8.5" wide, $1000 shipped!

It's a nismo sticker. Comes right off.

They're Gram Lights / Rays rims. Really nothing to do with Nissan other than nissan ordered a buttload of them then didn't want it.

I have tpms in my 57f's.

i thought so. they look good and a hell of a deal. if i hadn't just picked up a set of wheels just before that deal popped up i would have jumped on it too.
