I really have not decided yet. These were a gift from my father in law, so I am not out any money, and the upcoming tire expense was needed anyway. I may sell the set, or get them reconditioned for use later. I do still like them alot.
The new ones are all that clean...they truly are in immaculate condition.

Well, new tires are mounted on the wheels, but unfortunately, they are not on the car yet 
Ran into a small problem. Nissan, in their 'infiniti' wisdom used a mag style lug nut on that particular wheel and some of the other new Infinitis as well. They are $9+ from Nissan. I picked up 13 of them from a wrecking yard off of a G37, but need to find 7 more.

BTW, made a great score today...I stopped in at the wrecking yard to look for centercaps, and was only able to get 2 Nissan ones, and I grabbed 2 Infiniti ones just to fill the holes. Got over to the dealer and priced them out...THEY ARE $57 EACH!!!!!
Thank God I know my dealer well. The parts manager just happened to have a set of center caps that came off of a 350z, and they were the right ones. I ended up with 4 brand new ones, for free.

I am lucky to have a hookup...I have to pull my own, but i can probably pull Altima parts faster and better than the guys that work there. They normally do not allow self pulling.

Haven't decided yet...I brought them home yesterday, and they still have the old tires on them.

Well, after driving around on the new wheels for a few days, I have to say that I really do love them. They look great, and the ride in the car has improved. Granted, I do have new tires as well, but I don't think that is the whole story. Unlike the aftermarket wheels, these are the correct hub bore size and obviously do not need any rings to center them...+1 They were designed for the G sedan, which is a slightly more performance oriented car than the Alti, and I think these are a pretty well balanced OE wheel. The car has no vibration in the steering any more...+2 And lastly, I know that the tires play a big part, but I have less road noise in the cabin now...+3
