Default 2006 steering problem

I have been lurking around for a while and finally decided to join... I bout an 06 350z (base) didn't notice anything wrong when i test drove it, but after a couple days i was going into a right and turn, i downshifted and proceeded to turn. About half way through the turn my steering wheel kinda locked up like the tire grabbed something. I thought it was the rims catching the caliper as they were 16s, i bought new rims (18s) and it still does it. My fluid is good and it only does it about halfway through a hard right handed turn when i have weight on the front. Any ideas/suggestions on what this might be and how to fix it?

I'll run 16s all day for drifting. How much you want for em? Also I'd check the suspension up front.
