Besides, I needed new tires anyway and I got a deal on the set. They're 20 lbs each so they're lighter than the stockers.

I know, I know!!!
You mounted a small telephone pole on your hood!
George, take those wheels to a shop and have them paint that polished lip to match the rest of the wheel...then it will look great.

Do I at least get partial credit? If so, please use the funds that were to be appropriations for the winning vote towards obtaining centercaps for the wheels.

You: 46lbs per wheel/tire
Jason: 45.7(f)/46.6(r) per wheel/tire.
I'd call it a draw.
btw, my trackers:
245/45/17 tires (shaved) @ 24lbs each + 17x8 wheels @ 17lbs each = 41lbs per wheel/tire running a wider tread, FTW

I'm using the same size tires on all four of my 350Z wheels, but if the wheels themselves are different sizes, that may explain why I can't seem to get rid of the weird vibration I get at highway speeds no matter how many times I go for alignment/balancing.

Crap... I just looked it up, and you're right. The 17'' wheels are different widths on front and rear. All my tires are the same size, so it's not like I'm THAT worried, but if I have both of the heavier wheels on one side of the car, or if I have them at opposite corners of the car, that could go a long way toward explaining the mysterious highway vibration.
Don't you mean 2" higher?

You might have a point about having 2 8" on the right and 2 7.5" on the left though - look on the back of the spokes and it will tell you what the wheel width is and probably also will say "front" or "rear" on the wheel.
then you can just rotate the wheels to get it right, though you might have to remount a couple tires if you have directionals.

They look like a wheel Rays make, in fact, the wheels look pretty good - the angle of the pic is very unflattering, it exaggerates the wheelgap.
Some coilovers and i'd bet people would say your car is teh sex.
