19kdrill needs a little assistance w/ wheels
Finally got my own Nismo kit (bumper, sides, rear lip and LP cover... all authentic) and the G goes into the shop tomorrow for paint. As soon as I get it back, I'll be swapping out the suspension for a Z/G drop. I have a set of Coupe 18's, but they have some chips and light curbage, so my plan was to clean them up and have them blasted/powdercoated (original silver). I have found a near perfect set of 18" 06 sedan wheels w/ tires that are 95%. I would have to buy tires for MY couple 18's so either setup will cost me about the same.
So, which do I choose?

Now, keep in mind, my sedan is Desert Platinum, will have full nismo kit and Z/G drop. I want to keep it as "original" appearing as possible, but not boring. It is a DD and a kid hauler, so dumping it, camber, and such are out of the question. It still needs to be a comfortable ride.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and vote! Game on!!!

I thought so too, Marcus. But, when I ran across these on CL, I searched all morning for pics of an 03-04 sedan (Nismo or not) w/ the 05-06 wheels and couldn't find any. Thought it might be something a little different, yet still classy. Do you know of any media of 03-04's w/ the later sedan wheels?

He also had Coupe 18s way back in the day on stock suspension.
coupe 18s or 350z track 18s would look good too.....I would know!
I still have my 17s which are the 05-06 7 spokes, not sure you want em though rear tires need to be replaced soon(victims of 3.5 vlsd install)
