I don't have any plans on dropping my ride, and I'm having a set of the Nismo wheels installed on the car today. I'll take some pics and post 'em as soon as I can.

My 18" Nismos should be here today. I'm not planning on dropping my "G". 18's are not too small. I'm replacing the stock 18s with the Nismos, because I want to run the 245/275 tire combo. Wide tires look great, and improve handeling (with the correct offsets). They look right. Look like they have real tires on them, and not rubber bands. Oh,Oh hope I don't start a flame.

I've got 19s and no drop. i think it looks pretty good, but when its parked next to lowered zs, you can definitely tell and my car's height doesn't make it look so nice. might drop it in the future, but do not want eibachs (had them on previous car, not z) and cannot afford teins. check out the sig for pics.

I just got my car back and the "new" ride is awesome! Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tires are a night & day difference (for the better) over the stock Bridgestones, and the new wheels don't look "small" to me at all (of course, I went up from 17s)Besides, the overall tire diameter is supposed to stay the same, and I like to see some tire on the wheels!

I think you's car looks awesome. The wheels look great with that wide lip in back. Leave it alone, I'm sure you are getting lots of stares. NO - NO - Your wheels DO NOT look small.

My car is a daily driver, and I live in a neighborhood with lots of steep curbs and speed bumps. I will most likely add a bodykit down the line. My first priority will be wheels.

DURSO: no drop on your ride?? that looks great for no drop usually wheels look slightly too high i guess its dependent on the tires as well but that really looks great if you have no drop.
