Default Which wheels for my car? Nismo or 5Zigen?

OK here are my 2 options right now.

5Zigen sport engines 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 I believe they weigh 28 lbs a piece and are cast.



Nismo LMGT4 18 x 9.5 all around. 18 lbs a piece and forged.



And here is a pic of my car.

It's a pretty tought decision to make. I voted for the Nismo LMGT4.

With the Nismo LMGT4 you will be able to show off more of those Stoptech Slotted rotors.

I'm not a big fan of nismo wheels. I'd get the 5Zigen's

Yeah i'm not sure, I like the look of the 5zigens better but they weigh so much I want to use Falken rt-615s and they only goto 18s. The nismos are 10 lbs lighter and 18s but don't look as good, I can't make up my mind!

Neither, you may mistake your car for another 1 with the same wheels inthe parking lot. The Nismo Wheels look good in a 19, but every other Z has these. Jeese whats up with people no one has there own style anymore.

Well I havn't seen to many cars with a Tommy Kaira front bumper, what about yourself, and as far as the 5zigen I believe only 1 person on this board has them.

I think I'd choose stock over both -- what are you trying to acomplish with these wheels? Weight savings or style?

Weight difference makes choice to me, but I would go with the NISMO Rays. Geesh, guess that doesn't help either.
