Default Yea, but I don't know if they fit 2.7's--->

I had a set on my Maxima. They were American Racing Pinzetti's. They are a 2 piece design, with wide open spokes. Very nice looking wheels, they also have a polished aluminum lip and a choice of center caps. Come to think of it, the way the wheel is designed, it should fit the 2.7's. The spokes bow outward and the wheel has decent offset. They cost about $180 each in 16", and mine weighed19 lbs. With 225/50/16 rubber mounted on it, they weighed 38 lbs each.

Default Mille Miglias seem to be rather inexpensive...$155-165 range for 16"...not sure of weight.

Yes, they do clear the 2.7T front brakes. Used to have the "emotions" for my winter tires. They were about $155 plus shipping and are 16" x 7.5" with a 37mm off-set.
