These are the only thing Tire rack has for reasonable prices that provide for a front 8" and a rear 8.5. They're not my favorite but not too bad...

I want my fronts and rears to match. Plan to start out running DRs all the time, if that proves too squirrelly I'll get another set of street rears.

I see what you mean. They are very classy wheels though and I'd get 'em if I wanted to get larger rear wheels. By the way, how did you determine how well these would fit the car and do wider wheels have any liability? You got my interest up here as I've been looking over lighter wheels & tires as a possible upgrade.

For the price they are decent. Do they make a non-twisted look?

I like not bad. My friend has those exact rims on his 350Z.

I don't care for the twisted part much either but it somewhat matches my personality...

My knowledge level on wheel and tire fitment is horrible so I'm kinda stuck with what tire rack says will work or specific advise from those who have done it. My requirements are pretty simple:
1- rears must accept a decent DR
2- all 4 must match, prefer skinnier front
3- prefer black color but flexible
4- cost must be reasonable
5- prefer a weight reduction from stock

Yeah THOSE are heavy though... There are lighter wheels out there. What about some 17" with DR? The smaller you go the lighter you can find. I think my 17" were 126.00 and 24 pounds if I remember right.

17s are a possibility. No brake clearance issues?

None! Tire Rack is the one that said for snow tires they were the way to go. More choices of rubber. A LOT more...

I'm sure the DR's will be the same.:)

Kinda odd though when you ask to see all G8 products no 17s come up. Wish they did. I hate being so stupid on this important stuff :(

Choose winter tire packages... 17" Then you can see them all.

OK, that opens things up a bit. Nothing wider than 8" though.
