Yeah. I like my 18" LM-GT4 also.
I personally think 19" wheels look better on the Z but Nismo 18" (especially rear) has more aggressive angles than 19". 19" Nismo is very subtle angle and it has its own awesome look too but I love my 18" rear wheel spoke angles.
I wish 19" has more spoke angles like TE37... Just my opinion. But what size it is.. Nismo wheels are awesome looking/performance wheels for sure.

Really?

I dont know... for more blingin rims i prefer 19" on the Z... like the SF-Challenges... but for performance rims like the TE's or the LMGT4's... i think the 18" look sportier and fit the profile better.

I like the 18s better. The 18s are lighter and the same width as the 19s. Also the 18 inch rears look better than the 19s do. They look more aggressive.

not a fan of the silver on silver...if nismo sold these like the LE model 37

Gunmetal or Gloss Black w/ polished lip would be my choice...but then again why not just get volks b/c you can at least chose the offset you want. i'm not digging the +25

Wonder why the rears aren't 10" wide when the GT Rays OEMs are.

But these do look very nice, though.

Good Question. You would think Nismo would over something at least 10" wide or wider since the new Rays are wider than the current Nismos, even the 19s.

Also to me the 18" LMGT4s look as good as the 19s if your car is lowered versus stock ride height. I think the stance of my car looks good with the 18" LMGT4s and the Nismo suspension.

the GT/Track rims for 06' imo look pretty fugly.

However... the 18/19 staggered setup is pretty damn nice and so is the 10" rears.... :X

Wonder how much they weigh

I bet you could stagger the Nismos too, 18" front and 19" rear, as long as you used the correct size tires front and back. Perhaps someone like Jason could give the correct tire sizes to do this.

I think that would be 35mm in the back and 45mm up front.

I wouldnt do this... the fronts would look way too aggressive compared to the rears... awkward.

i like the Nismo wheel, not sure they suit SB though, unless someone has the pics to prove it

ive seen these wheels on skylines on the nismo website and brochure, and the skyline has a nice deep lip on the back, looks soooooo much better than the setup nismo recommend for the Z. Can we not put the deep lip LMs on the Z?
