17" OEM vs 18" OEM

I have came to the conclusion that i want to keep the car looking pretty stock so when i completely kick someones *** in a race they are shocked.

I want to know how much the OEM 17" weigh vs the OEM 18" rims.

Also, does anyone know if a company that makes "look a like" rims except light weight versions? I would like to find an OEM 18 looking rim that weighs around 18 pounds.....

HELP!

Hey Nismo G,

Did you ever get around to installing the HFC's?

PM me if you still have the 350Z Tein H springs for sale. Very interested.

I actually have the OEM 17s...so my car looks slow i know. I like the looks of the 18s more than the 19s. There is a company somewhere were you can send them your rims and they will actually make them wider for you. So i was thinking about getting the 18s and then making then 8.5 front 9.5 rear. But, what im really looking for is a company that makes OEM syle rims that are light weight.

Make up your mind, if you like the 18s, why would you get the 19s. I'll tell you why, you dont' have them and envy them, and deep down inside you want them. They look the best!
