I bought a set of Motegi Racing MR131 Traklite Bronze Wheels. The spec of them are 18×9 +35. In the front I am running 255/40/18 Firehawks Indy 500 and in the rear I went cheap and got some used 255/35/18 Bridgestone P{otenzas. I had to run a 3mm spacer in the front to clear my Brembo BBK.
The Nismo 57F is manufactured by world-famous wheel manufacturer Rays Wheels Japan. One of the first companies to pioneer cold-forging wheel technology, Rays Wheels are exceptionally high quality wheels. Rays wheels are used by car manufacturers for their high-end sports cars, such as the Skyline GT-R, Subaru STI, 350Z Track / Nismo editions, etc.
The Nismo 57F is a premium cold forged wheel manufactured from this cold forging technology. In 18×8.5 the wheels weigh in at a feather-light 17.8lbs without compromising strength. That’s about 5-7lbs lighter than OEM Altima / Maxima wheels. There are many 800+HP cars running the 57F forged wheels. Even on these big torque/ big horsepower applications there are no cracking or separation issues as seen recently with some other “name brand” wheels costing many times more.

Notes:
- Brakes came off of a ’14 Q50S. I bought the Akebono adapters for a G35/350z and had to modify my cast iron hubs and machined the 14″ rotors down a 1/4 inch. They’re noticeably better than my OEM brakes. And yes, they’re better than Brembo.
