18's, 19's, it's all subjective. But I ended up going with 18's because I wanted more inexpensive tires when it comes to replacements, as well as a meatier tire for increased tread wear. Good luck on choosing rims. Post pics when you get some. Here's mine with 18" Enkei PK6's

I'm too lazy to find it, but I think the silver z with the bronze Work Emotions has to be one of the finest z's out there. Very simple and sexy as hell. Can someone please post it.

i have yet to see a car that i really like on 18s. i don't think too many wheel manufacturers are making the right 18" wheel for 350z's. my perfect wheel/tire combination would be 18x9.5 +15 or lower offset front with a 235/40/18 and 18x10.5 +15 or lower offset rear with a 255/35/18 tire. i think you guys running 18s should run a thinner tire, your sidewalls are too damn big. looks like crap. it kind of defeats the purpose of getting new wheels. but that's just my opinion.

In my opinion, a smaller wheel with a thinner wall wouldn't look that great. That would be the same theory that the lowriders have. And some people do like to have a little more rubber on their wheels.
