+1. It's your car, find some that you like because ultimatly you are the one paing for them and looking at them daily. If you are not sure what style you like then search through the pic forums and stickies. You will find cars with almost every rim imaginable.
As far as other mods, there are stickies up top pertaining to that too. Nice car btw. And welcome.

Are you going for performance or looks?
20" and Drop and your good for looks
Light weight 18" if you want sports

What's with the front fender and rear bumper areas behind the tires? Clear coat failure or just dirt and salt?

HaHa i have the same exact car.

Mods:
The first thing I did was add a Ztube and a Stillen air intake witch made the car sound louder and have a little dealer pitch. It also adds like 10 horse. Then I put in a 5/16 iso spacer. Adds like 15 horse. Last I put in the Osiris tune. Big difference and it is just amazing how it works.

Looks:
First I tinted all my windows and my Taillights. Looks a lot better. They were Called those bluebatmobile gtr style taillights. Next I put On some 18 inch sport rims. Last I added a Fiber glass top secret hood and a put on a Gialla Corsa replica grill. This is all I've done so far.

Video of the sick tune and the cool stuff it can do.

go to uprev.com and go to location and type in your zipe code. That will show where they are at and where u can get it installed. it is 300$ for the license so they can work on your car and it is like 300$ for the tune and the dyno time. It is all worth it though. You get about 10 - 15 WHP. I have an automatic G35. My Stock 0-60 was 5.9 sec but with the Z- Tube, Stillen air intake, spacer and the tun ei was running 5.5 0-60 and my quarter mile increased by .4 seconds. Also i ran 6 MPH faster.

Here is some cool features about it.

I like it the way it is, but then again I am an old fart.
I would stagger the tires a litter more, 350Z roadster rims look similar to the ones you have but are a half a inch wider and you can go a little taller at the rear.
Not a big fan of lowering, it will mess up the suspension geometry even if it is done properly.

Modding you car will almost always lower the value of your car upon resale.
