I just posted up at my350Z.com about this and at EB, but I'd like to hear the opinions of some people here too.
I'll just quote meself verbatim:

Anyone got any input?Thanks in advance for any help/advice posted, and thanks again for all the help this board has brought me....this place has made owning a Z a much more pleasurable experience for me. (And that is saying a LOT! )
We just got a settlement resolved with my insurance company over some damage to our Z's front wheels, and they're cutting us a check for $1,414.39 to cover the new replacements.
If we go thru our Nissan dealer and trade in our botched up front wheels they can replace both ours for the amount we're being given...but I'm wondering if that is really the way to go. :icon43:
I saw this front replacement wheel for $345, but now I'm paranoid about it's color not quite matching the rear ones....so I'm wondering about just buying four new rims and swapping them all:
Discount/America Tires
Discount Tire Direct
Tire Track
Some stupid questions about swapping all four rims:
1. We have the tire pressure sensor thingies, will new rims mean we won't have that anymore?
2. Sizes. So long as all the numbers match will we be cool?
3. Any other options. If anyone has any recomendations or suggestions please feel free to post up, I'm a hopeless newbie when it comes to our Z and any kind of nice car in general.
4. Any good online places to buy rims I'm missing?
5. I found a few dozen tire/rim bargains, are those horrible scams with cheap rubber?
Again, thanks in advance and if this is a reposted question please feel free to slap me down as I should really know better.
