18inch wheels

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

I can get a set of 18" nissan 350Z wheels with tires (i currently have the 17s) for $700. I saw them (local guy) and they are in great condition and have only 1k miles on them. Is this a good deal? Whats everyones opinions of the 18s compared to the 17s in terms of looks etc? Will these 18s weigh more?
Thanks for any advice
A:

yea thats a real good deal, i say go for it. im assuming they arent the tracks right? do they come with the tps. either way its a good deal.
A:

another good reason i was thinking for getting these wheels is theres actually MORE Choices for tires. Right now theres like 2 or 3 sets of tires u can get for the 17s. theres like 10 for the 18s. Which is nice.
A:

700 for wheels and tires is a great deal...take it.

will my ride quality suffer from larger wheels?
A:

maybe a little bit..it might be a little harsher but nothing drastic at all. I mean they are stock wheels and tires. unless your really bothered by the ride of your 17's the 18's shouldnt be a problem. as far as acceleration there wont be any noticeable difference and i think you wil probably like the handling a little bit better. overall i think it will be mostly for looks cause the driving dynamics wont change too much.

Just bought a set on ebay less than 50 miles for $750. I have 17" too and yes you're right there are better selections for tires for 18", not to mention they are much better looking. can' wait to get them.
