Default Wheel Advise ! ! !

Hello,
Pretty new to this site. I'm thinking about getting these wheels for my 2008 350Z. Has anyone heard of these wheels at all ? Thinking about getting those in Black Chrome. Also which offset would be better as I'm illiterate when it comes to that. Your advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Here are the specs : Wheel size 18x10 Rear, 18x9 Front
Wheel offset: +22mm or + 40mm Rear
+24mm or + 30mm Front

PCD: 5x114.3
Price: $299.00
Load rating: 1580lbshttp://www.godspeedwheels.com/images/dealerimages/products/omega18x10_blkchr_s.jpg

+22 offset is the best offset for the z in that wheel. I would prefer to go even lower with the offset but it doesn't seem if it is avaliable in the wheel you are looking at. You will need some spacers if you want it to sit really flush on the fender. Won't you just go with the axis shines. The basically have the same design but have more aggressive offsets.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

the +22 all around, will look good, but be sure to get nice beefy tires, like a 255 in the front and a 285 in the rear.

Another quick questions and this will be the last i hope, does anyone also know if they will clear Brembos, because I called them and they said, they don't know. I can buy them and if they don't fit I can return them, but I really don't wanna $250 for shipping for nothing.

Did you even take 5 minutes and use the offset calculator that I posted?
