Price Check Stock V35 Wheels

[ViNCeY]

Price checking how much a stock v35 18inch wheel with Falken Tyres (done 5000k) cost?

Got them from a track model v35 with brembo brakes.

Thankyou

Very subjective 2nd hand pricing as there's no guide but official RRP from a US Nissan/Infiniti is about US$700+ per rim WITHOUT tyres. Not very helpful with the current crappy exchange rate, but that would mean brand new from dealers you'll be looking A$4k for the full set, that is if the A$ pricing is not set to be any higher than the US$ equivalent rate in the USA.

Locally, I've seen people are asking as much as A$3k for a set with tyres and yet some lucky punters can get a set for less than A$1k.

So, the answer to your question is, NO, there are no price guide. If you like it, you pay it as much as you can or are willing to part for that amount of cash, as these things don't come around often. But again, although they are made by RAYS, they're not the lightest wheel RAYS ever made, they're OEM stuff, so basically RAYS made them 'as cheap as possible' for nissan within acceptable quality and safety standard. An aftermarket RAYS forged wheels would very likely be stronger and lighter than these.

WOW thanks rs73, at least you cleared things up for me.

[rs73]

did you buy them reasonably cheap?

another thing buying or hunting for these rims is it's easier to buy one in your own city, so that kinda reduce your opportunity of finding a good rims but if it's located in other city, it's almost pointless to buy unless you're very desperate for it for any reason, cos' it'll be an expensive exercise trying to ship them down as most couriers requires them packed in a box, some don't accept a normal plastic shrinkwrap as a proper packaging. Not to mention the cost.

WOW thanks rs73, at least you cleared things up for me.

are you sure the 18s are made by rays??? I thought only the 19s were. Wheels only I wouldn't pay more than 1k in good condition

[ViNCeY]

Nah i just got new wheels, they are just sitting in the garage. Thinking of selling it cheap, still tossing up on what to do.

I saw a listing on ebay a while ago and yes, at the back of the rims there was stamped 'RAYS' somewhere.

Doesn't look like a DIY stamp so it looks legit enough. I'm pretty sure from memory they're the 18" ones, the 17"s on sedans I don't think they're RAYS though

[rs73]

i'm desperately waiting for my 19s as well... once that's on the car, i may be considering selling mine. but unsure yet.

I think that ebay listing started at $800 or 900 and the guy sold it for $1800. so you might give it a go. depending your luck and how many buyers wanted those rims in your city, you may just end up selling them cheap or even got a good price for them. at least your garage will be less cluttered by parts you're not puting on the car anyhow...

Im thinking about selling these and getting stock wheels if your interested.

[ViNCeY]

Yeah the cash will help out, maybe save up for APS twin turbo kit. IF the Mrs let me

Sorry manda23, don't want to trade, and have another set of wheels lying around.

[rs73]

I told the Mrs the HKS2535 turbo install & tune was a scheduled major service in my R33 gtst.

But again when she was charged $650+ on a major 80000km service on her Corolla in Toyota dealership, the install & tune labour cost on mine from a local tuner sounds 'reasonable'.

I don't think you' get away with $16k APS tt kit though

im waiting for rims too! its been almost 3 months but im in the home stretch with only 3 weeks to go

Maybe, didn't Nissan bring out a top model of the 350gt (some call it track model or something), with 18" wheels, sportier looks, brembos brakes and other features, to justify the price difference.

Hey Vince,

just wondering how much u looking for? thanks

[WazR32GTSt]

i thought it was the OEM 19s that were RAYS

my 18s certainly don't have a RAYS stamp on them..

[rs73]

hm, yeah - that means they're probably suppose to cost less then... ?

cos mine had alot of scrapes on it, just tempted to had them restore but at $350 a piece quote to restore it back to Nissan's original high silver/shadow chrome finish is a bit expensiver for a stock set of rims. so i was thinking just to sell mine cheap with compliance tyres on 'em (done 2000km)

[NISMO]

Yeah my 18's 100% did NOT have any Rays stamping, and have never heard that they were Rays. There was 350Z 18's by Rays which fit the V35's but the G/V35 18's were not Rays.

I just sold a set of mine for under $1k with tyres.

Regardless of how much they cost new, they are not an overly flash wheel that people are willing to pay big money for. They are not anything especially light either. When you can get 18' TE37 for around $3k you'd struggle to sell stock V35 wheels for that much.

I did a search when i was selling mine to see where to price them at, and struggled to find a set which sold for much over $1k. (V35 or 350Z stock wheels)

[WazR32GTSt]

i have to agree on that price range

but my personal opinion is that the OEM 18" rim is a very asthetically pleasing rim. it may not be a lightweight racing wheel but the design suits the car perfectly and i would not sell it for any other rim in the world except for the OEM 19s
