Would many people be interested in buying the 18s? I'm just wondering how much '$loss' there will be if I got 19s through spare parts and sold my 18s. The 19s will be like 5k+ ? Ouch. Then there's tires.

You 2010 guys are lucky! I loved those 19s as soon as I saw them. But I was also obsessed with chicane yellow at the time too. Otherwise I would have waited and got my Z this year.

True...the wheels are only 5k now as they are spare parts for the Roadster and Nissan knows we all want them. Once the Coupe gets officially announced with them, you will be able to get them much cheaper.

The best deal could still be ebay once guys start upgrading...wait n see.

BAH to Nissan!! lol It still pisses me off that we now need to pay more than others to get the same feature that should have been included in ours to begin with even though we asked about them and I even wrote a letter to Nissan about them at the time of purchase....... I'll never lose my bitterness over this lol.... I'll end up an old bitter man and when I do, I'll blame this one event in my life.

Bigger wheels look good but with the lower profile rubber give you a harder ratly ride. I had low profiles on my old S15 and noticed reduction in ride comfort and handling. I would never do it again. Just my opinion.

what's stopping you buying one? cause they're pretty awesome...
the most important bit is stopping me atm, getting my finances sorted. ive just started a new job and need to sort out the cash before i jump in. hopefully wont be too long now. in the mean time i guess im happy to admire the rides in the pic galleries.
