Message I believe that is still for all 4. The price list difference between the base and Premium package was around ~2800 euros, and that includes both wheels and other options included on the premium/track (Brakes being a major expense) package. I still stand by my original claim that those wheels are not a $10,000 package alone. Plus that is an Austrian price list, we are in America and Nissan dealerships are much more abundant and competitive than that of Austria, where in Europe Ford Mustangs are $40,000 cars, here they are much less. You can't simply compare the exchange rates as a means to justify price, you must look at availability and structure of the economy. America imports many more Nissans than Austria does, meaning the availability is much greater and less is needed to meet Nissan's profit goals.

Also if you check out courtesy Nissan's parts department, and go to wheels you can see that the NISMO LM-GT4 wheels are about $600 a piece, those are considered an alternative/upgrade (hence the NISMO edition 350z's). I would expect the Rays Track wheels to be on a similar pricing scale as the NISMO wheels, as they are each a top of line wheel brand and application specific. I stand by my original claim... The total difference between a base Coupe (absolutely no ammenities) and a full Track Edition is $8,500. This includes the Brembo Brake upgrade, Rays wheels, and front and rear spoilers(expensive from Nissan). At most the wheels could be $4500, and that includes tires and the shipping/destination charges etc. etc. etc.

Go build your own 350Z at Nissanusa.com ... You will see I am correct.
