vitaminZ - Awesome wheels. Couple of questions:
-How much do they weigh?
-How much lip is there in the front?
I have a G35c and am interested in the exact same.

Front are 18x9 +22
Rear are 18x10 +25
I was told the front weigh 21lbs and the rears are 22lbs. I never weighed them. Discount tire direct carries the Boyds and they were around $2100 for the rims. DTD has excellent service and would recommend giving them a call.

This is a good thread! I iwsh I saw this a couple weeks ago...great for ideas.
I'll post pics of my gram lights when I get em on next week...assuming the stock tires look ok on them. Will eventually go to 245/40 and 275/40....18x8.5 and 18x9.5 (Come to think of it, will the stock rubber fit ok?)

Thanks,

I just found this thread...excellent. Has anyone put 275/40-18's on 18x8.5 rims? I'd like to keep the stock Track Rays rims, but would like to "supersize." 255/40-18 should be ok on the fron 18x8.
If tire choice makes a difference, I'm thinking about Eagle F1's.

I'm still debating what to put up front, but I will make the change soon since the car is now *extremely* unbalanced. It pushes like a pig in turns. The rear has so much more traction relative to the front tires that I've severely altered the cars balance in turns. The OEM Pilot 225/45/18 fronts are 8.8 inches wide vs. 9.6 in the rear for OEM 245/45/18 Pilots, yielding an 8% stagger. I now have 10.8" wide tires in the rear, yielding a 19% stagger. I'd actually like to eliminate the stagger (same at front and back) to make the car understeer less and to allow rotation of the car under trail-braking.
I see from searches that some other G35C and 350Z have run 275's all around on the same wheel (usually 17 x 9 or 18 x 9 track wheels) without problems from VDC.

the pk6's don't seem to look as good to me in silver. maybe it depends on the color of the Z. i have had my pk6's since 25Feb04 and i couldn't be any happier with them. great wheel at a great price!
btw, i paid $1,547 for wheels, tires, gorilla lugnuts, mounting/ balancing and free shipping(took two days). i purchased mine through discount tire direct.
