So, you share the opinion that Infiniti uses inferior products as OEM for its' stock wheels? Wow.

Where on earth did I say that?

OEM wheels are much more superior in quality than all those wheels you listed.

You obviously read it wrong. He is saying by replacing the stock wheels with any of the inferior wheels listed would be detrimental to the overall safety of the car.

My point was that the last wheel I offered a pic of (GTC01) is made by Enkei. The same company that makes our OEM wheels. They are double to triple the price of the first list that I provided.
I stated that I am really surprised that people think that wheels are in way "inferior".
I can see not liking the look, but I don't get the whole "Enkei are not good enough".

Everyone is refering to your initial list. You listed rims such as the RPM brand that are only 700 for all four brand new.

Honestly why would your remove OEM safety equipment and replace it with cheaper parts?

If you cannot afford decent rims new, then buy a set used or keep your OEMs. And please for the love of God, stop trying to mod your car off ebay.

I like the F14's. They weigh about the same as the last wheel I posted. Any idea how much? How about for the forged?

Two comments come to mind:
1) Dr. Jones wheels would look VERY good on my black car.
and
2) I would never order wheels from them after reading that story. Life is too short for that kind of foolishness. Too bad as the weight, looks and price are pretty good.

Yes Enkei makes our wheels but they make wheels in varying quality so don't assume you're getting the same level as OEM just b/c they make em.

That said, if you must buy from that list then 5Zigen, they are good quality and hold up well.

THAT said, I'd look for a used set of Volk's on this forum for that price.

I see your point. My point was simply that I doubt Enkei makes cheap or junkie rims or Nissan wouldn't pick them as a supplier. They don't need the hassle of dealing with idiots.

Volks make one or two models that I like, but most are a little too flashy for me.

Thanks for the input.

I can vouch for them, the OEMs can handle A LOT of abuse for 19" wheels honestly
