Hi, I just bought my G35 Coupe back in June so now I'm prepping for my first winter with it (NJ resident)
![]() I plan to throw on a set of OEM wheels with Blizzak tires. I found someone willing to sell me his 18" OEM wheels for $300. Is this a good price? Also, are 18" wheels too big for the winter setup? I was hoping to buy 17" OEM wheels... Also, what specific Blizzak tires should I get? Thanks in advance

I picked up 18" Z Touring wheels with Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tires (seller says they were used for one season, but I think it's more like two) for the winter. Tires are 225/45 and 235/45. I was going to put winter tires on my factory 19", but tires are too expensive. Might as well get 18s for a little more comfortable ride. Price depends on condition. I think $300 is pretty good.

$300 for 18's isnt bad, but your tire choices will be more expensive than a 17 inch wheel. There are deals out there, check marketplace, ebay, craigslist. Alot of people selling sets already include slightly used snow tires but those usually give you the best bang for your buck.
I bought a used set of 17" 03 sedan wheels a couple years ago for $200 and put on brand new 215/55/17 blizzak WS-50s (replaced by WS-60 now). Going into my 3rd Chicago winter, no complaints at all.
