Need Help Picking Wheels

Hey guys... I'm looking for a new set of wheels and would like some opinions on what to go with... I'd like to keep it around 18's to leave some rubber for ride quality... Also, I don't want to lower it much if any at all.

Here's the most recent pic of the car:

??? Y'mean 350z track wheels? Maybe post pics of the ones you mean - the sport 18s are not Rays, I don't think. They look okay but are heavier cast units.

OP - bigger wheels are gonna look a bit 4x4ish without at least a mild drop.

Get some black wheels to continue ur black and silver theme. Get the oem 19" rays, they're light and the tires are still meaty for comfort. And powdercoat them black, then lower with tein h tech or z springs in the front and g coupe springs in the rear, both are mild drop. Then paint your roof black

Gsedan, I will take them. How about this. I will drive down to pick them up and then take a couple of shots of your car and I can post them and say they are from the sedan meet. Do we have a deal. LOL

Why would you not lower your car??? Are you concerned about ride quality? If you use z/coupe springs it's really not affected.

I really like those wheels... Shot me a ballpark price...

The inside of the headlights are painted and then tinted with clear/base black, same with tail lights...

As for lowered cars, I've had plenty along the way and after owning a non-lowered car for a while has spoiled me...
