The wheels, a factory/dealer option are indeed pretty uncommon these days, and the ones on my car have kind of cool story: the PO had always liked this style but could find pretty much only trashed ones (almost always without center caps) so he began a nationwide search of now-Nissan dealerships in a quest for an NOS set. As I recall, he found two on a dusty backroom shelf at one dealership and one each at three other stores. The set on my car is essentially new, having, I believe, less than a thousand miles on them. Plus, I have a fifth one that's never been mounted. Center caps are apparently the proverbial hen's teeth, too. Frankly, they're not my favorite so I'm holding out for someone doing a concours (or somewhere close) restoration that wants a set of five.
