Looks really nice........on a side note....how close would you say those Axis wheels resemble in color to the door handles. In your pic...they look like a match. How close are they in person???

I paid $3850 for the kit, and the wheel is somewhere between the door handle color, and silverstone, but it matches nice in person. and the wheel spec:
20x9 30 offset with 1/16" spacer and 20/10.5 25 offset, with same spacer
255/30/20 and 275/30/20 michelin pilot sport a/s
1.8 eibach drop, with 1/4 coil cut rear

Will 18" wheels fit that brake setup? I like those wheels. Do they come in 18"? 19" & 20" rubber is too expense for me for how quickly I seem to go through tires. Are those brakes 6-piston front, 4-piston rear? What size are the rotors? How many millimeters clearence do you have between the calipers and the wheels? It looks like you can't even fit a sheet of paper in between there! 
What do ROTORA recommend for clearence? There will be some expansion due to heat. That looks a little too close IMHO and for my peace of mind, but to each their own. Maybe it is just a bad camera angle or something. I mean, I take it, you are obviously driving it and that there are no issues. I love the deep dish on the wheels. How heavy are those wheels? Why did you choose the ROTORA kit over AP-Racing 6/4 kit? Price? Is there that much difference?

well, I dont know what fits my car now (as far as a stock setup), but I am planning on buying a used set of stock19" g35 wheels. I too am concerned about the clearance, but I've been told by several reliable sources not too worry, there is enough space for 2 business cards to get stuck between the wheel and caliper, I chose the 6/4 kit from rotora, because I heard good things about it, the price was right and I recieved it 1 day after ordering it, and installed it in 2 hr with ease. I am very pleased with it. It turned my z into a diferent car.

Well, you are either going to have brake dust (pad wear) or rotor wear -- nature of the beast. I understand about brake dust though. I am constantly cleaning my wheels. Brake dust on wheels is a pet-peeve of mine...
