Welcome....dont worry about it. Most of the 19s you see here you can also get in 18s....so pick the style you like and order them in 18s instead.

welcome...

19's are best for looks and if you are not looking for performance and are running a suspension with a softer progressive spring...

18's are best for all round looks and performance... if you are planning on doing any sort or really spirited driving 18's will do you best...

there are alot of 18's avaialble the most popular are the LMGT4's from NISMO...

If you do go 18's get fatter tires. I think 18's with upgraded tires look just as good as some 19's.

If you go 18's I would stay away from the wheels that have thin spokes. This is only my personal opinion but it seem as though the thiner spoked wheels only look good on this car in 19 or larger diameters. The thicker spoked wheels like the Nismo and Racing Hart F-tunes look nice in the smaller 18" and below wheels and so do mesh wheels such as the Volk SF-Winnings or the HRE 540Rs. Again only personal opinion. The 19" wheels are more money, less performance, harder to find tires, tires are more money, but damn do they look good on this car!!! I have had many people not realize that I have 19" wheels. I think it is because of the way the car's wheel wells were designed. The car can handle some big wheels and it does it in style.
