I have seen pics of a member's SC with the rims you mentioned. I did ask the question if the hub diameter of Nissan-Infinity are the same as Toyota-Lexus and did not get a reply.

But it looks like it is.

The bolt pattern is same for both (for that matter, Honda-Acura, too). 114.5 x 5.

Can somebody confirm the hub diameters are the same?

I know the lug nuts are not, Nissan uses 12 x 1.25, Toyota uses 12 x 1.5.

Look in the thread entitled "Post recent pics of your SC." Around page 15 or so there are pics of a Black SC with Black 19" Infiniti wheels. You could probably even google it, plenty of owners have done this. Hope this helped.

I have them on my sc430. Very light and very strong.

They are black powder coated and they look SWEEEEEET!!!!

You need to get acorn-type lugnuts and 66.06 mm O.D 60.06 mm I.D. Plastic Hub Centric Rings.
Do not get aluminum hub rings because the heat can cause them to stick to your hubs.

You can get the hub rings here:
http://1010tires.com/hubrings.asp

You can usually find a set of wheels here in the $600-$700 price range:
http://g35driver.com/

You can get custom center caps made up with Lexus Logos for about $120 here:
http://wesden.com/aboutUS.htm

I paid $700 for Black Powder coated wheels with 2 good rear tires (the fronts had excessive camber wear and were trashed).

I paid the guy $30 cash at the tire shop to swap my TPMS sensors into the Infinity rims.

looks good anyone else have some more photos, hard to tell 100%, i know most sc430 do the 20 inch wheel, i figured a forged wheel like this is strong, light, which would help keep the ride quality and fill the wheel well alot better then the factory wheels.
