I just picked up an 03 G35 sedan. I want to upgrade the wheels but I am not sure if I want to do a factory upgrade or aftermarket. So my question is will the wheels from a G35 coupe and a 350z fit on my car?

Aftermarket of take-off is totally personal preference.

With regards to the fitment, yes, they will fit, BUT the 350Z tires are shorter than the G35 ones, so if you buy 350Z rims, pass up on the tires and go get the right sized ones.

The FAQ has a tire size calculator towards the bottom that can help you out.

When going aftermarket, consider weight and tire choice. Weight will kill power and fuel economy and tire choice can kill your wallet (G35s with the 19 rims have all of 5 matching tire options all but one are over $250/tire).
