question on rims
The spoiler is the oem lip spoiler, and yes the chrome is removed. If you decide to get one let me know, there's a thread that'll show you the install without having to drill the outside two holes (so you can go back to stock if you want or are afraid to drill your car
) Most Infiniti dealers & part sources sell them. Discountinfinitiparts would be one.https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...-g-sedans.html

I'm not really sure. I'll try to look it up a little bit later and find out.
**Edit: I couldn't really find the "official" weight listed anywhere but from what I was able to find by searching some forums they're between 20 and 25lbs. But don't hold me to it if it's wrong.

Keep in mind you need to keep the outside diameter of your tires within 3% of the oem tire diameter to keep your traction control and speedometer/odometer within a reasonable range. The 18s will have a taller sidewall, the 20s a narrower sidewall to accomplish this.
Here's three pics of my G w/ 20s~ first pic is a long time ago showroom stock (w/17s), next is 20s before lowering, the last pic is lowered w/ no fender gap (and same wheels but blacked out). Even a mild drop to reduce the fender gap really improves the look, so no need to go as low as this if you don't want to

Good point^^
I have 20s and am getting new 20s this week but there are definitely some significant tradeoffs for the look. The low profile sidewalls do hold up well for cornering but you will get a harsh ride by comparison for the smaller amount of rubber between the car & the road. The weight of the bigger wheels & tires will be noticeable, not too much if you keep the weight fairly close but still something to consider as most cast 20" rims can be 20% heavier or more compared to oem 18" wheels. MACS has some wheels that are 20% lighter than oems so he's really feeling a nice improvement.
I don't mind sacrificing a bit of pep & mpg for the look of a nice 20 but you do have to be more careful too as a big pothole can slam a 20 but only a minor annoyance on 18s.
19s are a good compromise but the tires cost a fair amount more than 20s

^ Much would depend on the wheel offset.
Someone else here was recently asking if he could put 10" all around. I think the final answer was yes. Edit - with some extra negative camber on the fronts
