    Wow! Nicest X I've seen to date!

    I'm returning to steel wheels after tearing up two sets (10) of alloy wheels. Found a set of stock XJ steel wheels for $10 each on Craigslist. They are 15 x 7, 5 on 4 1/2. A little prep and paint and I think they look pretty decent.

    Anyone ever seen steelies painted machine grey (I think the same color as battleship interiors)? I think that would look great.

    That is kind of what i am looking for, the steelies in silver or a grey color. The problem is finding them to fit the 05+ Nissans.

    I'd think these ones from Courtesy Nissan would work. However, to be fair, they're $150 each plus shipping (unless you live near Cherry Hill, NJ).

    Or is it that you're after them for less than new pricing?

    Well I did it! I got them in the mail yesterday and had a set of BFG ATs in 235/85/16 mounted on them to day. So far I am very pleased!

    I did not get to weigh them but the wheels seem a bit heavier then the 17" alloys but the tires may be lighter then the wider ones I had. So it may be a toss up on that, if any thing a bit heavier then be for but not noticeable on the road
