Hard to say since my taste and style differs from yours but remember its what you like. What size 17,18,19,20. make sure that the tpms stem will fit if you plan on keep them in.

both sets are 18x8, I want to have as lightweight wheels as possible (never really understood 20" wheels frenzy) Tires are 245x45x18, Michelin PS2 (25lbs) or Exclaim UHP (27lbs)

Get the OZ and PS2.

My 18x9 OZ Superleggera are about 20 lbs. Great for the 2 years I have had them.

the lightest/cheapest wheels are the enkei rpf1 300 price range. if you want to save an extra 1 lb on each wheels would be 600 to 700 price range. i got 18x8 and 18x9 1/2.i did lots of research on these matter.trust me enkei rpf 1 the lightest.http://www.enkei.com

under 18lbs for front and under 19 lbs. for the rear.p.s.i got the fastest M on this forum 14.151 @100.05245 40 18, toyo t1rs275 35 18,k&n,dynomax ultra flo x muffler , cut out all the resonators.

could you please post a picture of your car with those wheels?btw, OZ weight is 18.4lbs for 18x8 wheel.and on side note - my 540 is 4.4l 282hp 324lbs of torque and performance is the same as Infiniti with 340hp, I really thought that Infiniti will be faster:(

m does not have lsd, so lunching the car almost a joke. if we got lsd it would be better numbers. i am sure doing 70 on high way and punch it m would win over 540does 540 has lsd?

i will post photos later, i got shorter tires so i got bigger wheel weld gap, it doesn't look so good. but is i put 245 45 and 275 40 it will looc better, but go slower.so i am not doing it.you need to have wider wheels on the rear. 8 wide is toooooo small.Later.caug.
