Suggestions for first upgrades

Hi, i just recently bought a 2004 G35X with an automatic. It is black/black with the aero kit and i love it. I was looking to get some new wheels and anything small to make it faster. I wanted black wheels, all black if possible, around 19. Wondering if anyone saw anything that they would suggest, remembering that it is the all wheel drive version. Thanks a lot guys and i look forward to the answers on this and future posts.

i like more of a clean look like these

but theyre kind of small (17x7, 18x7.5). I believe that i cant do a staggered setup so that takes a lot of options away. For the performance mods, i am open to almost any suggestions. Thanks.

Would get an Isothermal 5/16 Spacer from Motordyne, Ztube, and drop-in K&N filter or Stillen CAI.

I would get a silver lip with your black wheels and don't go smaller. I would stick with the 17" or go for 18" wheels.

yea that sounds sick. i want to go 18 or 19, but 19s are hard to find not staggered and in black. 20's are even harder to find not staggered. im still looking though. think im gonna get 2 12" subs as well for the trunk. all options.

Has anyone seen a 03-04 sedan with stock 18" 07-08 sedan rims? I'm sure they go for pretty cheap as people are trying to get rid of them.
