time for tires (rims also)?

Its high time that i get some new tires. i almost feel like buying tires now with my stock size of 225/55-17 would be a waste. new wheels would completely give my car a new look.

My two favorites are Vossen CV2 in matte black or Forgestar F14 in gunmetal.

i live in Tallahassee, FL and i would prefer to drive to a shop to get this done. Do any of our vendors have a shop located between Atlanta and Miami?

I have an 08 G35 Sedan and have already lowered on Eibach PK. i would likely add rear camber kit as well.

Who would be the best vendor to work this out with?

If i do not go the wheels and tire route i will just buy tires and i really hate to do that because i would not be totally happy.

i am also open to suggestions on tire sizes to enhance the look.
Thanks for any input.

Not many sizes in 17" you can use really. A 245/50-17 will work but tire selection is slim.

my preference is to get new wheels and tires at once. probably a staggered 20x10.5 20x9 set up. i was polling to see the best vendor to work with given my location

Do you have to have a vendor do the work? I got my Vossen CV1's from D2 Autosport in NYC and they shipped my CV1's to my door balanced, mounted, with TPMS. I had a local shop put them on for a few bucks.

thx

i have no problem putting them on myself. if that is the best recommended option, lets talk about the best vendor for me to use and ship to Florida. where has everyone had the best luck, specifically with Vossen or Forgestar?
thanks for the help btw
