Not sure of the tire brand yet, but going with 245/45/18's. The weight of the rims are unknown, but not a concern to me since I'm not racing.

I've looked around on Ebay as well. I'd like to get the 06-07 wheels for the 350z. Not staggered, but get 4 of the rears. I also like the Altima SE-R wheels too.

the way i feel... if you are going to spend that $$... and you live in warm climate and arent planning on lowering your car... 20s are the way to go... or 18s with a drop... the price difference btwn low end 18's and low end 20's isnt significant... and infact i come across cheaper tires for the 20s than the 18s

True. If you live in a pothole prone area, you may want to consider forged wheels. But, if price is an issue, that's a really good deal. 245/45/18 is a bit tall for 18's in my opinion. The ideal size would be 235/45/18 but those are an odd size and the selection is limited. If you look at 245/40/18, you'll have a larger selection to choose from, and the tire prices are cheaper than that of the 245/45's. Or you could go with 225/45/18 like me and have a million tires to select from. Just a heads up. Good luck with your wheel choice.

Yup, 225/45's are prbably the cheapest way to go. You'll end up .3 inches short, but that doesn't really matter. 245/45 will bring you right to factory spec, but they are pricey. You can find 225/45's for as low as $100 or so. If I lived on the mainland, I'd definitely go with the Falken FK452 which run about $120-$140 a piece. Those tires are awesome!!

Good point! On my specv I had 225/45/17's on the rims and I got the Falken Azenis for $120 each. I was looking up 245/45/18 tires today and they are rare yet more expensive. A common size was 245/40/18.

Those rims screen are ok, but my first impression was that they scream "rice!" You need something unique that stands apart from the rest.
