The wheels are designed after the wheels that were on the hardbody’s and the pathfinders during those years. They look great. Aside from the stickers and the sports bar those wheels are the only “hardbody” thing on the truck. They make me miss my 87 pathfinder.

[@carsunlocked]

Did they do it justice? I don’t think so

[@dn2610]

Awesome video! Wish they had the crewcab in 6 foot bed here in the U.S. Great looking truck, thanks for sharing!

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks for watching!

[@Joe-eg7ml]

The wheels are themed for the hardbody trim. I had a 93 SEv6 with the exact same looking wheels.

[@carsunlocked]

doesnt look good in 2024

[@westtexas.2238]

They missed out making it a manual. My brother used to have a regular cab red Nissan hardbody

[@carsunlocked]

i wish

[@bag499]

nice truck

[@carsunlocked]

We agree!

[@jaysworld5378]

Why does Canada get the long bed and the US doesn't?

[@carsunlocked]

hard to answer that question

[@Stephen_A.]

Ya, the rims don't go with the rest of the truck. 😩

[@carsunlocked]

I don’t like them stephen

[@Stephen_A.]

@@carsunlocked At the very least they should have been a polished chrome rather than a brushed finish. 🙂

44 K + They want you to remember the old while they sell you the new to add on to it! Don't like the wheels/don't like the lights/so still going 2025 pro 4x and loaded. They'll have to replace the back window with a solid window. If it's not electric, I can reach it so/get it gone! They'll put a handle on the driver's side as well. Besides that, the skid plates must be removed for every oil change! Have y'all seen what the dealers charge for an oil change? Leave it off & when you off road, put it back on! It's gonna be a pain in the azz otherwise! My Truck/My Call/Nissan will just have to pick up their end!

thanks for watching this is the canadian msrp
