Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / January 2005"take off" wheels?
I backed my car into my friend's brand-new Murano. Of course I'm going to pay for her repairs, but I scratched one of the wheels. The dealer wants to charge $671.00 for *one* new wheel. That is ridiculous! I found the following website: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Pr oduct_Code=40300-CA026TO That sells "take off" wheels. The part number my friend needs is 40300-CA026, and the above site is selling 40300-CA026TO (I assume the "TO" suffix is for "take off"). Question is: what exactly is a "take off" wheel? The site is only charging $100 (a bargain compared to $670). Thanks, Matt  SignatureMatt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email > I backed my car into my friend's brand-new Murano.

I read that, but it doesn't say where "take off" wheels come from, i.e. how they become "take off". FWIW, I was told that "take off" just means that someone bought a car, but decided they didn't want the factory wheels, so the dealer took them off and put some other wheels on. So they are effectively brand-new. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks again, Matt SignatureMatt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email If its the wheel you want what difference does it make where it came from, be glad your getting it for $100.

Can anyone confirm this? yes, the customer decided to buy after market wheels for their new vehicle and left the factory ones behind. http://www.advanceautoparts.com/english/youcan/html/ccr/ccr20040101wu.html#Take-Offs >> read the bottom paragraph on the page you listed. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > took them off and put some other wheels on.

At that time new SE wheels would have been $295 each, so I got Infiniti J30 alloy take offs from Tire Rack for $45 each. Same size, same bolt pattern, and only 5 mm different offset (which gave me slightly wider track within SCCA competition spec's). They even said Nissan on back of casting. Apparently they originated from a new car dealer that had put fancier wheels on a J30. |
