Default Need help with wheels!!

Hello guys. I've posted on here a few times and have found each time to be more helpful than the Nissan dealership. So before I get started, just wanted to thank everyone for sharing the knowledge. This has become my favorite 350z forum by a longshot. Ok, down to business, I am currently looking at some Axis Shine wheels 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r. Offset - 15mm(Front) & 20mm(Rear). They come with Nexen N3000 tires
(Front - 245/35/ZR19
Rear - 275/30/ZR19)

I've never heard of Nexen tired before so I am curious as to whether that is a good deal or not.
1 more question!! - Also, the link below has the wheels I am looking at and a BADASS Body kit. I don't know what kind of body kit is on this guy's car though. Does anyone know?

-Thx

Nismo front bumper I don't know about the sides. I'm not a huge fan of the shines, but to each his own. I have known people with Nexans that have never had a problem with them.

The front tires are taller than the rear.

I've used the Nexen N3000 and I currently have the N7000 on my car right now. Both are excellent tires for the money. Wet and gry grip is excellent on both. The N3000 is the summer tire 91Y rated and the N7000 all season 91W. The N3000 have good stiff sidewalls. I've even used my N3000's in light snow with no problem and my N7000's got me thorugh a very tough winter in Chicago. The ride is very smooth and very quiet. They make almost no noise. Cornering is great on both. I was shocked by how much better my N7000 were than the stock Bridgestones. I've been up to 135 MPH on my N7000s and the ride was smooth and very stable and the N3000 is rated at a higher speed than the N7000. When I get my 19s I would go with Nexen again but they just don't have the sizes that I want. They are fairly new in the U.S. but are starting to get more noticed as word of mouth gets around.
