I stumbled across this web site has anyone ordered anything from here?

http://www.finishlinewheels.com/INFINITI/FX/2010/

They have the OEM 21in for $379ea. Just want to make sure they are not replicas they claim they are OEM.

I don't have any experience with that site, however for that price I'd assume they are replicas. Infiniti I'd imagine has a fixed price on it's parts (including wheels), which is why factory things are all pretty much the same price no matter where you go. Price for those wheels at the dealer I'd imagine is over $600/ea.

Overall, replicas aren't necessarily bad, depending on who makes them. A lot of times, these sites that sell "OEM" wheels are selling replica wheels that were manufactured according to "OEM" specs, so they are exact duplicates, which is typically why they look exactly like OEM wheels but you can get them for much cheaper.

I've personally owned OEM replicas before (although not from this particular website) and I liked them with no complaints, they were solid wheels that looked exactly like OEM, but were about 50% of the price of true factory OEM from the dealer.

Thank you very much!
 
That site has been around for quite some time. They sell aftermarket and salvaged items. They NEVER have those wheels in stock. If you search the web for "finishlinesports" you will find plenty of posts on them which should reiterate this.

Cheapest brand new OEM 21s you will find online are about $1000 per wheel. There are several OEM part sites that are maintained by dealerships that sell around this price.
Otherwise, you're looking (or should I say hoping) to find a set on this site or ebay.

Good luck...
 
I have looked at finishwheel.com but i have hesitated bc i afraid they might not be good rims. but if you get them let us know what you think on them
 
i just ordered the 21s for my fx35 from finishwheel.com i will let guys know how is it when i get them, i am looking for tiers now where is the cheapest i can find them at?

Choices:

Search eBay. I just looked but they mainly have singles for $100 a piece with half tread left.

Or go a different size like

Not too many choices but you'll have some sweet wheels when you get them. I was going to try finishlinewheels too but I could never get a hold of them through the phone which made me never place an order. This guy has two of them in mint condition but wouldn't take less than 800 for the set. Problem is there's only two and you could be searching for months and not find another.
