Default ?? on G350 rims??

I have a 350z and I dont know what directions i wanna go right now with my car, but I have to buy tires soon. I saw some G35 rims that where really nice!! Does any 350z in here have either the 18 or the 19 rays on there Z?
any pics? the reason why I was going that directions is because I dont know what rims I really want yet and I thought maybe getting some g35 rims would look nice for now. are the G35 19 as light or lighter than some other 19's out there? the question really is, is there any gains as in performance in those rims? how much do they go for? If anyone is selling theirs in the next month or so give me a pm im might be intrested.

There are quite a few members who have the G35 wheels on their cars. But here are some pictures of my car:

I have to admit that these 19" G35 are lighter than my OEM 18" Touring wheels, and they're forged. I don't track my car so I can't comment on the performance wise, but I haven't yet experienced any problems with the ride at all. My car has been upgraded with Tein Flex coilovers and is lowered about 1" all around. Good lucks of getting your next set of wheels.

Danny to tell you the truth I have hated when people put those on the Z until I just saw your pics. It really looks good w/ your suspension and spacers. Nice job!

icedout589 -- thanks for your honest opinion and compliment. I guess because they're OEM wheels, light and strong -- good enough for me. 8-)

chuquison -- basically, the spacers are used to bring your wheels out toward the fender, creating that "flush" look. It's the same as having the aftermarket wheels with low offsets. There are couple brands of these spacers: H&R and Project Kics wheel spacers.

Danny - What size spacers are you running? 15mm front/25mm rear?

edit: nevermind found it on another post - 20mm front/25m rear.
