Ok, so I'm going to be getting 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 staggered setup. I am going more for looks than how light the wheels are and everything.

The blue car is my current car, and the others are wheels I'm looking at.

You better check the offsets on those 350z wheels before you consider purchasing them. Most wheels for Z's have ~30-33mm offset (and looking at the picture, those wheels are somewhere in that neighborhood). That's generally a little too low for an FD.

Personally I like the wheels on the FD better anyway.

The wheels on the 350z come in +20, +35 and +42 offset. I'd get +42 all around.

Ah, I was assuming that you were purchasing the wheels used. Good luck!

Thanks man, I really want to get the ones on the gray FD and then somehow be able to give them a polish finish, I think that'd look really nice.

Go with the ones on the FD. I love the look of 18's and I like the ones for the FD. The dish on those look real good. I've got 18's with a decent dish on them and they deffinitely turn heads.

Ya Skip the Taiwan stuff. Not worthy of your car and they'll be bricks, quite heavy.

You want something of good quality and lightweight and affordable please look at the Enkei Racing Series line of wheels.
