350z rims or g35 rims which look better please post pics!!
if you're actually paying for them get yourself some aftermarket rims, they look better than both and will probably be cheaper. if its a 5 finger discount, get both this way you can change them with your mood.
im kinda partial to the G35C 18s
here is my 3rd gen click here for the gallery of my rims

here is Irish's 5th gen
which 350z rims are you looking at? I like the track edition ones the best like these

i take it youre going with 18s and not the 17 g35s?

From my research, the G wheels weigh 26lbs each. The Michelins weigh 24 and 26lbs front/back respectively. So you get 50 and 52lbs total.

Track edition 350z wheels are forged and made by Rays. Normal touring etc...350z wheels are just cast and heavy. 25-26lbs sounds just about right. The G35 18" Coupe wheels are 26lbs each also.

Also, that's counting the packing materials and the box as well. So maybe these wheels actually weigh slightly less than 25 pounds, eh?

EDIT: I looked at my post after posting and the sig was not there. At any rate, it is above. The lavenderish-grayish g35 above.
If you don't have these 350z wheels, then you don't have the Track Edition Rays engineering forged wheels. No other wheel for the Z are forged that I know of. Maybe some of the new ones. The G coupe for this year has OPTIONAL 19" wheels that are supposed to be forged. Don't know the weight on those. I can't imagine running 19s on my 3-gen anyway.

Your mileage won't suffer any significant amount. I'm running the G35 coupe wheels now. And I'm running the huge 245-45-18s in front (only way it clears). And even then, my mileage is okay. But can tell a diff in low end accerlation. But it's mostly because of the lower gearing that huge tire gives. 4-gen/5-gens can run these big tires in the rears for the staggered look and not have to worry too much about acceleration and mileage.

Staggered in this case = 18x8 yes. But fronts = 225-45-18 and rears = 245-45-18. I run the widers ones on the rear. 4-5th gens can run the wider ones out back. Thus staggered.

That means that the wheels come out away from the body of the car almost the same distance, more on the front if anything, since the front wheel base is a little wider on the fourth gen. So do you mean that the wall of the tires actually gives the staggered look? BTW, I plan to put 245/45's on all four of mine.

What I have been asking about, though, is spacers for the rears. I'd like them to line up against the outer body the way the fronts do (or, will). Where can I get these spacers for less than an arm and a leg? And how hard are lugs to replace? I'm sure I'd need longer ones, wouldn't you say? Would the spacers have to be fabbed? Would it be recommended for safety's sake that I not go to my old college machine shop and fab some ma self? And where should I go for longer lugs? (I wouldn't dream of trying to thread some longer lugs myself.)
