Deciding on Wheels...

Ok, I've finally decided to get new wheels. Now im stuck debating what I want to buy. I had my friend photoshop some wheel i found on ebay onto my care, and I actually like them, although I dont fully understand what hyperblack is. Im guessing something like gunmetal.
Any criticism is greatly appreciated. (I know there are boxes around the wheels, haha). Teh ebay site for them is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-in...mZ260137496744



I'm also considering these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-In...mZ260136730261

This is my car before the photoshop.




I'm also completely lost on where to start on the tires. What are some good tires? and what size should I get? Yes, I am a wheel/tire noob.

I'll try to post up more images, as a run across more wheels I like.

I dont really want 2k stock wheels or g35 wheels, because everyone else is doing that. Im trying to be different, but at the same time I dont want it to look like crap. I think I might be going to a wheel outlet store tonight, and I'll check some things out there.

I would rather post it here to get more 4th gen owners comments. More people probably look in the forum than the wheel & tire section anyways. But thanks for trying to direct me : )

I've havent seen any gold maxamas im the area with gunmetal wheels, plus I wont have to worry as much about cleaning them all the time : ).

Should I got with 225 tires or 235?

Check out Tirerack, they'll actually show you the rim on your car.

You need a 225 tire if you want your speedo to be dead on, otherwise it will be ever so slightly off. There are calculators in the Tire and Wheel Section forum stickies which will show you the before and after of your speedo.

EDIT: Your tire width will depend on which size rim you get. Tirerack will make the proper suggestion based on your car/rim of choice.

thats because OEM wheels > cheap aftermarket wheels. IMO.
