Cool that you're taking the time to really find the perfect match for your G. Might also look at Forgestar, IIRC this is the only wheel design that they make in 18s though, but you can get the EXACT offset you want FWIW
Forgestar Wheels Custom Rotary Forged Flow Formed Concave Performance Wheels - Forgestar F14
GetYouWheels offers them in almost any custom finish you can imagine too, check this thread for ideas, got a lot of F14 finishes in the thread

On a budget the Niche wheels can be found in 18s in the following models
Apex, Circuit, Targa, Verona,

Need4Speed is the on site vendor that carries them, been pretty popular on the site in the last year.

I would have bought 18's a long time ago, but I have been waiting for the Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires on 275/40/18 for about 5 months already.

Niche

You know those Niche Verona's almost do it for me. And then when I get down to the details to make it work out I see they do not offer the right colors. Arrrhh! That's the problem with 18s, they are not what the market is demanding right now so the selection is limited. OR the mass marketing is working to tell us we all need bigger and bigger wheels..

....I remember the day when 15s with 65 series tires on my Datsun B210 were the standard low profile set-up..LOL

Agreed, nor do the have the 255/45/18!

I also looked at the Toyo Proxies 1 and they are severely limited in sizes.

I'm planning on doing Enkei Kojin 18x8.5+35 fr and 18x9.5+30 rr with 245x45 and 275x40 tires. I don't want to screw with my ride quality or drop my car. Hopefully the rears won't be to 'pokey'.

Thumbs up Rays - Homura 2x5

Really like these cast wheels from Rays called the Homura 2x5. They have a classy look and could pass as a factory upgrade wheel. The center cap covering the lugs looks nice and is in-line with the latest trends from the high end manufactures. They have the right sizes for the G in both 18 & 19. A set is just a bit less that $2K so they fit within budget limits. Looks like they will clear big brakes. They take 2-3 months to deliver from Japan.



SNAZZY!

Thumbs up VMR v702

Certainly like the look of these 10 spoke VMR wheels. They also could pass for Factory upgrade wheels. I think these have the right combination of features to pull off an 18 wheel on a sedan. They are relatively new from VMR and they have the right sizes and colors for my taste. They offer three finishes and I think the brushed face with light gunmetal would look perfect on my Liquid Platinum sedan. The wheel bore is also hub centric to Infiniti/Nissans so no hub rings are needed. A staggered set is less than $1500. Having the lug nuts exposed offers the opportunity to play with different color nuts when you get bored could be a good thing. Only offered with a black center cap. VMR seems to have a strong following with the bimmer group. Could be at my door in 5 days.











Brushed Spokes with Satin Light Gunmetal. Looking Good!





DECISIONS!

Hey Roadrash, these Miro 398s might be a good option for you too. They are available in silver and black. Type 398 Silver | Miro Wheels

....and these Work Emotion XT-7. They have a lot of center cap options to make-em unique. I am liking those red center caps myself. I mean who has that on the road today!

Can't go wrong w/ the Rays for sure. It looks like VMR is opening up their market to the Asian auto market, they didn't used to carry much in the Infiniti/Nissan bolt patterns, very nice cast wheel lineup, I've seen a few V710s on BMWs and have a nice concavity and finish. Looks like all of their line is available in Infiniti patterns, nice to know!

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up! How do the Miro wheels compare to Enkei, quality wise? Anyone know? The Works are a little spendy for a DD. (At least for my budget, I have a kid in college and a motorcycle racing addiction)

Bremmer Kraft BR09

I stayed with 18's due to my financial situation...wanted a change, but couldn't afford a new set of rims & tires.
Re-mounted the stock Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A1 A/S tires with the 20mm spacers.

I picked up a set of MB Twist 18x8 wheels from Discount Tire Direct with Yokohama W.Drive 225/50/18 tires for my winter set. I will post pics when it's cold enough to put them on.
