I like my 18s,
 but you should just powdercoat the stockers and be done if you don't want to spend a lot of money. If you want a lip, the S-tune wheels have a nice rear one and a decent front one, and can also be powdercoated black:

the downside of 18s is finding appropriate height tires that are wide enough. my 285/30s are a little over an inch shorter than stock.

Mike-
That is the problem I constantly run into.. finding the right tire ratio on these ones. specially when searching for cheap tires! I do love the way it handles and drives compared to my 20's though. Track wheels FTW! |

I think you can pick them up at a discount Nissan dealer or even Z1 for around 2000-2200 plus another 300 for powdercoating. Starts getting pricey, but they are nice wheels.
Actually, if you did get them and order from Z1, I could coat them for 200 for you since they are new and require a little less work on my part, and Z1 sends me stuff to coat all the time.

The difference is in weight. If you are going to save weight get the real ones, if you are just dding your car and would like to save the cash, reps are a good alternative.

if you're going 1 piece then I would say go 18's, just because they're lighter...
if you 're going 2/3 piece then just stick to 19's, in this case go big or go home haha, plus I think 2/3 piece wheels have issues fitting with 18's
