Opinions needed on wheels

I found a set of the 35th anniversary 350z wheels locally for $400. My 05 G35x still has the stock 17s so I'm thinking about going with the 350z wheels, mostly because they are cheap and local. Any opinions on these wheels? I'm leaning toward 18s so I can still have a decent amount of sidewall, and tires for 18s are much cheaper.

Here's a link to pics of said wheels on a V35 Skyline sedan

I'm pretty much set on going with larger OEM wheels. I really don't have money for a nice set of aftermarket rims, and I like the clean look of 18" or 19" OEM wheels (thinking coupe 19s or M sport 19s).

I really like those wheels, especially on the Z, however, on the G they just don't look quite right and aren't near as sexy. I can't figure out why. I was set on getting them until I saw a few Gs with them mounted.

I've seen a few running around town with these wheels and would have sworn that they were Maxima's or Altimas before I got up close to them. Really takes the Mt fuji right outta the car IMO.

Ok I guess I'll forget about the 350z wheels. Any opinions on these:

It's the same wheel, in hyper silver, gunmetal, or black.

Those are basically a non forged oem 19" clone. They would look better for sure.

Yep they are clones of 05+ Sport sedan wheels. I'm having trouble deciding which color. Seems like black/polished lip is kinda played out, thinking maybe gunmetal.

I honestly was this close to making a move for those exact ones, but backed off cuz no tires

personally I think they're great looking especially on z's, only things I didn't like was the color (I have a dgg and would like darker rims), and that they look a little too nissan-y. I'm torn between those and the coupe 18's; of course if they had rubber I'd be a lot more in love...

My favorite stocks have always been the is300 (last car) 5 spokes, I think they look a little more classy than the z ones.
