moff Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi guys, Prior to speaking to my oh-so-not-very-clever dealer today I just wanted to get the low down on the 19" Nismo alloy option. I am considering speccing them on a new Z and want to know: - how much they cost? - if I sell them unmarked in 2 years, how much will I get back for them? - I have read they are 5kg lighter than the 18" stock - is this true? - how does the car ride on them compared to stock I plan to try and recoup any cost by part exchanging them for some OEM 350Z alloys when I sell in 2 years.

Stew Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You will save money by buying them from Big Phil and keeping the standard wheels. He is very competitive price wise on these. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Get the Nissan price then ask BigPhil. Better to phone him as I dont think he has the IT sorted in the new workshop yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 As the others have said, get them from BigPhil and sell the standard items. You wont loose much (if any) money that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moff Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 As a Newbie, I am not sure who 'BigPhil' is? Sounds like an option as I have just been quoted £2,930 EXC VAT for the wheels - yes I did nearly swallow my own tongue and faint with shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moff Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks guys. Phew, cannot understand how Nissan dealers think that £3,400 is an acceptable amount to pay for some wheels. Will contact BigPhil and look to sort some that way:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10211 Price may have changed but it will give you an idea Love the white, looks As a general rule, get the dealer price, then look on here and get twice as much And as I said before, best to ring Phil as he is still IT less in the new place.
