I need some Vokin' help
Finally decided to go with the Volk GT-C Face 1 rims, 18 inch. Can someone push me in the right direction as to what size tire will fit it best, and which brand tire would be best. Plus, if anyone's got any pics 
of these rims on their Z I'd appreciate it. (And yes, I already tried the search option but the search is down so I figured I'd get a result quicker by posting). Thanks.

Most popular size: Seems to be 245/40/18 up front, 275/40/18 in the rear.
Most popular tire: Bridgetone Potenza S-03 or Toyo TS-1. I personally would with the Toyos because they are lighter and the tread looks more aggressive. There are plenty of other cheaper tires though, but these, as many people here would agree with me, are the best.

tire sizes are correct, thats for 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears of course, if your widths are not those.. then of course the tires sizes would be different too.
2 tires listed are also good, but I would add good year eagle F1 GS-D3 I think it is. Im very satisfied with their performance on my car.
also for those that care they are claimed to weigh 28.92 for a 275/40/18
toyos as best as I can find are listed at 28lbs.
Ill let you guys pick apart these weights as real or fake, both are claimed on different sites, toyo are by toyo, the goodyears are claimed by depotire.com. Ive heard S03s are heavier than toyos, so Id assume heavier than the eagles as well.

Thanks for the speedy response and general help. Also I'll think about that group buy, and when the final decision is made then hopefully I'll have pics up.
