Default Wheel Help - for a wheel noob

Sorry, but I have never bought wheels for my cars before, but now that I have the Z I have caught the mod bug.

My questions are about the 5Zigen FN-01R-C wheels.

1) Are they good (quality)?
2) What is the difference in the numbers when it says available in 17x7, 17x8, and 17x9 (what does that second number mean)?
3) Can I use the "stock" 17" (Potenza) tires with these wheels?
4) What is the difference between 4 or 5 lugs (other than looks)?


Thanks very much, and sorry for the "dumb" questions.

1) Good quality for the price class.
2) The second number is width of the rim. Your current OEM rims are 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8 in the rear.
3) You can use the stock tires, but I wouldn't go wider than a 17x8.5 for your new rims
4) The difference is the number of lugs. Your car has a 5x114 lug pattern and you MUST use wheels that will work with that lug pattern.
