What do you guys think of Braid wheels?

What set up would be best on stock suspension? I want a 19, I want it to corner and launch with awesome performance characterisitcs.

My thoughts are 19x10.5 and 19x8.5, but I know squat!

I loved the SO3's I had on my maxima, but here they aren't made in a 19?

Help a brotha out with some offset knowledge and tire and wheel size that would be optimal to retain stock suspension for now...

Are you talking about Potenza SO3? If so they are definitely made in 19" sizes 245/25 and 275/35 and are quite popular with Z owners. Never heard of Braid wheels though.

Offsets sound right. Get 275/35/19 in back to retain the OEM tire height. By the way, I was very, very close to ordering Braid rims for my G35c, but I got the impression they were cast and not forged. They are on the whole nice wheels that are a lot more popular in Europe than here. Which ones did you get? The Interlagos?

the stock tire size is equally inbetween 275/35-19 and 285/35=19. so either will work just as good.

Of course. But the Braid rims were a good deal more. I should have added that above.
