Default Nissan GT-R wheels/GS350?

Does anyone know if the GT-R wheels fit on a 06-07 GS350? I love those wheels.

If not, who makes them, or who makes a very, very similar style?.....Thanks

I'm not even going to get started again.................

Those wheels are going to cost you an arm and a leg and are purposely built for the GT-R. Read up on the GT-R and you will see how much engineering and care went into the wheels/tires.

I realize they are VERY expensive wheels. I do work for a Nissan dealer in town.
Does anyone make a VERY comparable looking wheel?

Thanks 1sicklex. This explains why so many people having wobbling issues when they have aftermarket wheels on their lex. It happened to me not too long ago. Go back to original OEM wheels, whoa la, no more wobbling.

Nah they don't fit.

Super-lightweight forged-alloy wheels with knurled bead area, designed to maximize tire adhesion to wheel under acceleration:
20" x 9.5" +20mm offset (front)
20" x 10.5" +20mm offset (rear)

I found these to give a general idea. The G37 clearly has a lot of GS influence in it, especially from the side.

OMG That looks good. Even though thats an Infiniti. Can you put those wheels on a white GS?
