Default Somthing I found on ebay

I found this package and it says there factory sealed aluminum rims



But hears a pic of my G35 with what looks to me like the same rims but mine aren't aluminum.

yeah what DRFTKO said is true, they came in the muscle car wheel upgrade, or wheel upgrade number 3, but that same style of rim was also made in aluminum. they cost 34.99 NIB up here in canada, theres quite a few of them around in the source, i would assume because they wanted way too much money for them, and personally i dont think are a great looking wheel. i would try to find something else if i were you, unless you really want to have aluminum rims that look exactly like the plastic ones for your G35.

Yeah, I remember those. They were one of the first mods to come out. It say $24.99 on the box, that's a lot. but I remember atomic mods selling some that they made for like $50.

I currently have those same ones on my Civic. I think they look great, and don't really need the same style in aluminum....
