NEED HELP : SSR GT7 Wheels, to buy or not to buy

Guys, I am totally stuck and can't make a decision. I am in the market for wheels, and though I can spend alot of money, I don't want to. My main concern is weight and performance, not necessarily bling. I MUST have the staggered setup of 18x8.5 in front and 18x9.5 in the rear so I can have 245f/275r tires.

Tirerack has the SSR GT-7 wheels on sale, and I have always liked these wheels. They are super light, the right size, strong, etc. Problem is, I am not sure how they look on our G35 Sedans. I have a Diamond Graphite Sedan and I would buy the silver wheels, seen here:

I found some pics of these on an M5 here:

Please provide me with your opinions.

are you sure they come in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5? i just checked it out on tirerack, they only have them in 19x8 and 19x9.5 for the g sedan, and you can see them on you car.

go to this page http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...&autoYear=2004 and scrow through the wheels until you get to the gt7, select car color "desert platinum," it's closest to diamon graphite, and viola...have fun.

Well, I bought em. I figure these things will be gone soon, discontinued, and they are such a good deal for forged 18's for the street/track, and light at 19 lbs. Will post pics soon, since so other sedan on this forum seems to have 'em.

Those wheels are sweeeet!! They're going to look great on the G. I've been eying up the SSR Comps for a while now....SSR has some of the lightest quality wheels around. Great choice!!
