looking for rims...
I keep my oem rims and have the winter/ summer tires switched out every season. I need new summers so this time I was considering getting a second set of rims and mounting either the summers or winters on those - that way I dont have to pay anyone to switch it over and I can do It my self.
I have never bought rims, and I don't need anything too extravagant (but they should still be good looking). What should I look for in various rims?
Guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

I have a set of MRR GT 1 wheels in chrome for sale for $2300 plus shipping. They have the stock Bridgestones that came on my 2010 G37S Vert. They are 8.5 front wheels and 9.5 rear wheels. The tires only have 3,500 miles on them. The wheels are in perfect condition. They are mounted, balanced, filled with nitrogen and come with the factory TPMS. PM me if you are interested.

i have OEM g37S sedan rims (duck-feet) new. they are 18"
i use them with winter tires, and use the oem 19" that came with the car as my summer rims.
it works out great because i can save money over winter by buying 18" tires, versus paying expensive prices for 19" winter tires that get beat up in the potholes. plus having more rubber actually raised my car by at least half an inch, giving me more ground clearance over the snow. just a thought.
its not the best looking kit, but for winter & the price- what more can you ask for? it survived last year's record snow falls and the car handled great. gotta admit- the ride is really-really nice with a thicker sidewall tire.
these are the rims right here

Never thought about 18's, but thats actually a pretty good idea. The only concern I would have is fitting the wheels over the sport brakes. It looks like that wasn't a problem for you>?
