One question I have is about the average weight of the wheel. On an 18 inch wheel what should I be looking for? I found these Donz Columbos http://donzwheelz.com/catalog.php?a=columbo and the dealer said they are around 25 lbs. I also saw some ADRs http://www.adrwheels.com/wheels/?sfID1=12&sfID2=250 weight unknown. Those were the only ones I saw in my range that I liked.
Any help here is appreciated.

emotions will be the most resonably priced "NICE" wheels(obviously nice is subjective)
be patient and browse the classified section, occasionally you can find a killer deal.
b.t.w. OFFSET around +20 to +25 looks the best on Z imho (lower offset pushes the wheel closer to the fender giving the car an aggressive look)
as you can see in Z1's pix
good luck

Thanks for the replies. You all have been really helpful. I think what I may do, is keep an eye out for a good deal, but otherwise I may just wait until I need new tires and then just get a set of both wheels and tires at the same time. That way I can take plenty of time to look around and I will be more comfortable spending more money. Those works do look nice though, if I can find a set for a good price in the color I want I may have to get them earlier 
:-D I like rotas too. I was concidering them, but I didnt like how they were nismo replicas. If they had their own unique design, I would've gotten them. 1800 shipped w/ huge tires is a great deal from subiedude.
