Question Looking for new rims\tires what you think?! POLL

I’m looking at the R1 Racing Rims (Drift Black Gloss) Found here http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-tir...k%20Gloss.html.

I like them, though the chrome lip is just a little to wide for me. What are your opinions? I have an '05 Redline 350. I’m thinking mainly 18s, maybe 19s with Toyo T1R tires. Cost: $1600 on wheelsnext.com. I am on some what of a budget so I can't go with Volks ( ), but I think these look pretty good.

Also..
Can I use my factory TPMS in these wheels for tire pressure. I guess I will have to take them in so they can put the sensors in and do a rebalance.

and...
How wide can I go here? I am 101 when it comes to tire and rim sizes. What is everyone’s recommendation with front and rear sizes. Let me know. Thanks! (Also I have seen my350z's ad in a few Mags lately!! )

if you have enough power to move the biggest tires you can get without rolling the fenders go with 19x10.5in in the back. 18/19x 9/9.5 in the front. want to roll the fenders and have that much power go with 11.5 in the rear, i have seen that they sit flush with the body.

i currently have 18x10 R/ 18x9 F wish i would have gone the extra inch!

and LOWER THE CAR!!!! no wheel gap. : )

barely depending offset, youd have to roll the rear fenders DEFINATELY....maybe need spacers...dunno. itd be a tight squeeze, itd look great though.

The pink dayton's are probably worth more than the R-1's.

I ordered my rims from wheelsnext.com and I was not sattisfied. Check the offset becuase mine looked good on the website and I even called to make the order and he recommended them for the Z. When I got them the offset was horrible and they were tucked bad.
