Winter wheel choices for sport brakes! (rant)
It seems there are only two choices for 18" winter wheels on the sport models:
2006-2008 350Z (incl. 2005 anniversary)
Sport Edition A7 from Tirerack
Is this really the case? I love these brakes, but this is a a major PITA. I've been browsing the 350Z and G35/G37 forums looking for used sets of 350Z wheels. Seems I'm not the only one looking for these are they are quite popular.
Adding a wheel spacer may help, but the wheel weights would need to be mounted on the outside of the wheel.

You need to remove a bolt so that there is enough clearance for those wheels.
I too am looking for some cheap alternatives for winter wheel/tires. My last winter was a horrific experience. Summer tires and rolling backwards on an incline was not something I ever wanted [moving from a Subaru].

i am also looking for winter rims. i think the 18'' rims from the '08 - '09 Honda accord coupe V6 will clear the calipers and i know they have the same bolt pattern. if anybody else has any other suggestions please let us know!

I have a set of 18" Fast Apex Wheels with Toyo Garit KX(225/50/R18) tires already mounted that were on my 08 G37S. I bought them brand new last winter and only used them for 3 months, the tires have less than 3,000 kms on them and the rims are in MINT shape and come with spacers. I got rid of the car in May so I don't need them anymore. WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN CANADA AND UNITED STATES... MAKE ME AN OFFER...SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY... THANK YOU!
I can be reached by email at eric.brisson@pb.com
