read the bottom paragraph on the page you listed.
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
If its the wheel you want what difference does it make where it came from, be glad your getting it for $100.

that is correct.
yes, the customer decided to buy after market wheels for their new vehicle and left the factory ones behind.
When I first bought my 95 Maxima SE 5-spd in May 94, I needed spare wheels for Solo II and autocross competition. 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.
