Upgrading stock rims and tires-Help?

Should I go up to a 19" in. rim, or stay stock @ 18" in? Newbie here! Not looking to get too complicated with spacers, etc. RIMS: 18'' staggered packages

IMHO I'd just find a set of used OEM wheels off a sport pkg Z34 and call it a day. Check the for sale threads.

I think those look really similar to the base wheels, so why don't you just powdercoat yours and have extra cash for rubber or get a set of nismos
