My wife's PW Base 7AT

Thanks for the pics, I'm considering swapping out to a set of lightweight 18's. Not sure if I'm sold on the look, although a drop and a good offset can

I think 18's are the perfect cost-effective option for the 370Z. Though any given new sporty car can rock tasteful 20's and look good, I remember when 18's used to be considered huge on a mid-size sedan or sports coupe.

I like to drag race, so 20's are out of the question.

I've got Sport Package wheels, which should be about 22lb each. And I can't justify buying a $3k set of 19's (the only ones that would be 20lb or less). So 18's are what I might end up with.

and yes, i do remember the days when 17's and 18's were "BIG".
