Do you care about performance or just looks? If you care about performance as well, look into the gram lights, Volks, or Nismo wheels with either the Michelin Pilot tire or the Toyo Proxes. All very light weight components. A few pounds on the wheels/tires makes a big diff.

If you stick with 8.5 or less width in front and 9.0 width or less in back, you'll be able to transfer the stock 18" wheels and tire pressure monitors(depending on the wheel) to the new wheel. Stock width on the 18"s is 8.0".

performance isnt anything big for me, i have other cars for that. this is my car just to drive on the weekends and id like to add some spice, so light or heavy wouldnt make much a diff, i just want something in to stand out.

Volk, Work, SSR's, Maya, Maido, are wheels I'd buy. Try to stay away from low quality rims because you get what you pay for. I personally have Volk shoes. I've also ordered half of set of Maya's.

With 19's the right offset and tire size will get you a crazy drop. 20's, the right offset and STRETCHED tire size will also get you a crazy drop. Stretched meaning if the rim is 19"/20" x 10.5", get a 255/19 or 20/ 35 series tire and have the best shop you know install them. It's the way it's done in Japan...Real JDM style. Looks really nice too with part of the lip sticking out of the tire.

Re: Looking for Rims, sugg please

If you like that polished black/ chrome look, check these out.
The guy that I bought them from posted some pics just before he shipped them out.

It's a forged racing wheel, 19x9F and 19x10.5R, and for the size/ width they're very light (or at least lighter than the stock 18's).

Re: Looking for Rims, sugg please

can make an 8.5 front/10 rear package in a single piece forging(several styles to choose from) only available fully polished though
would like to get some g35 pics done ( have done many 350z') and can make adjustments to meet the price requirement
