18's get my vote.

1. cost of tires at time of replacement due to wear and tear or damage.

2. though not by much, so i've heard, performance factor in multiple aspects due to added weight (unless you're just gonna cruise slow n low in the coupe and if that's the case you might as well jump up to some 20's to really fill in the gaps).

3. in my honest OPINION, the stock 19's look too busy, complicated, etc. I don't know, too many openings, spokes, shapes, etc. I don't feel they flow with the sleek, clean, & simplified silouette of the coupe at all. Again though, just my OPINION. (I know, I know... i'm still gonna get flamed for this statement, but oh well, fukc-it. Just want to share my honest thoughts on this with a fellow member who's asking.)

But like ShanesG said, "whichever one you pick... you wont lose."

damn thats low...hows the ride on the JIC? stiff or comfy?

to your question:

19s!!!! the right size, u wont be disappointed. some spacers. paint them black or flat black and call it a day, give it the aggressive look.

the 18s are borderline. with being that tucked n low. the 19s would be perfect..

20s if your just ballin/chillin status...

G35 Coupe "Sport Package"
if only the OEM wheels were wider, like 18x9 front 18x10 rear. both look nice and it is a tough decision, but I would go with 19's for the lighter weight.

Well being this low doesnt really make it so stiff, its the suspension design and the spring rates. Its not too bad, people complain, but she handles awsome!

Thats where you guys come in, help me decide. Which do you guys think would look better?

And does anyone have pics of black slammed coupes on the stock 19s?

Here's my 18s on my coupe.
looks siiiicckkk on the 18's but the 19's would look just as good. if u wanted a little wider stance go with the 19's

I think your car will look great with either wheel choice, primarily because of your drop.
The way I see it, the 18's give it a very clean and basic look sort of "old school" in a good way. The forged 19's are very nice wheels and would give you a little more modern look.

The stock 19's are forged and weigh about 19lbs. each.

iono,I'd have to say 19s FTW. With 25mm spacers in backc and 20 in front, I think your dumped black coupe would be tight!
