jim Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) NOW SOLD. Sadly, my Z has gone to the breakers. We lost a fight with a telegraph pole and the insurance company has written it off. I have no plans to get another Z, so my Nismo LM GT4 wheels are now superfluous to requirements and I want to sell them. I am based in Central Scotland. I bought these wheels from ZMANALEX in April 2011 and they have been on the car only during the summer months since then. I put the original wheels back on every winter and the Nismos have never been exposed to salt etc. Apart from regular washing, I cleaned them once or twice with ValetPro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner and protected them with Poorboys alloy wheel wax at least twice per year. Overall, therefore, they are in very good condition, as you can see from the pictures. There are scuffs on the rims on three of them, the worst being on the front nearside. Again, the pictures should show the extent of that damage. The tyres are Falkens, and still have a decent amount of tread on them. The fronts have around 7-8mm and the rears around 5-6mm. They have never been punctured or leaked at all during all the time I have run them. There is however some damage on the tread of the front offside tyre. This was caused by the wheel arch liner scraping the tread when the car was being recovered. I have included a picture to show this damage. The wheels themselves were not damaged in the accident. In perfect condition, I reckon that they would be worth about £1600 for the set, but given the damage to one tyre, I have reduced that by £100, so I think that £1500 for these very rare wheels is a fair asking price. This includes a full set of black studs and locking wheel nuts. Buyer to collect. Here they are while still on the car. And off the car now. Rear O/S Rear N/S Rear N/S close-up of marks on rim. Front N/S Front N/S closeups of scuffs on outer rim. Front O/S Front O/S close-up of scuffs on outer rim. The spokes are in perfect order - the marks shown in their photo are just reflections. Front O/S tread damage. Edited January 22, 2017 by jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Looks like a square set up not staggered pattern. Lovely wheels buddy and hope they find a loving home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Rears are definitely wider. Lips are slightly deeper on the rears. I don't know the exact figures but when I took mine off to detail them the rears ARE wider. Edited September 17, 2016 by HEADPHONES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The width should be stamped on the rear of the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just popped out to check. They are staggered fit. 8.5 front, 9.5 rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think the 10.5" rears, which are like hens teeth, have a huge lip similar to TE37's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm really surprised that nobody has wanted to buy these yet. Am I asking too much for them? As someone who has been around as long as you on the forum we know that in the early days there is no doubt these were the rims to have and I seem to recall I paid around £1650 for them new in 2008 (iirc) and that included Falken 452's from a trader on here. And for anyone looking to get their 350 kitted out with the original Nismo options these wheels are probably top on most peoples list. But, times have moved on the range of aftermarket wheels now available is so much better and some really good rims can be had for not too much money. Moreover, we are seeing more and more Zeds being modded with what are regarded as 'todays' wheels to have rather than going down the traditional route. So what I am trying to say is that the demand for LM GT4's is not so hot and buyers prepared to spend up to one and half grand on a set, and then probably another 500 or so quid on tyres, are likely to be looking for as perfect condition as possible. That is not to say there may be those who would be put off by the price, but you may have to wait some time for those buyers. And we have seen these wheels in the wanted sub-forum from time to time - in fact that is how I have sold nearly all my ZED parts (and the 370) rather than resorting to 'for sale' ads. Hope that helps and offered solely in response to your ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
