for budget friendly wheels, i would consider buying used. you can get high end wheels for about half price. check the classifieds here. but you might have better luck in the G35 forums. they usually have the same fitment. just make sure they didn't go too aggressive. and that's a much more common style on G35s, so you'll find more options.

i'm not so sure tires will be any cheaper for 19s. i remember reading they're actually more expensive. but i haven't priced out 19s, so i can't say for sure. personally, i went from runflats to 20s and the ride was greatly improved. 19s are probably a little smoother. but 20s aren't harsh at all.

I previously imagined that the ride on 20s would be similar to run-flats
and I HATED the rough ride quality of run-flats.
I really meant used tires. I would assume that finding thinner tires would be more difficult.
I just bought a set of 4 Continental tires with 70% tread for $20 a piece.
From then on, I would never buy new tires again.

Check out www.mc3wheels.com . They are a new 3pc wheel company and they've quoted me sick prices on some 3pc 20s. They do have a 5star split design.

ebay all day long...may not have as much choices for that price...but look at "adr staggered" or "adr 20" wheels" in your search. I have posted some examples before on this thread and others. PM me if you need some help.
Search for g35, g37 and mustang 20" wheels and sort by price least to greatest you will find a lot of wheels. I think 300z has same bolt pattern too. Watch the offsets and make sure you are getting staggered.
I recommended some 20" adr wheels the other day in chrome for $600+ $200 shipping.

Why staggered?
From what I read it negatively affects road performance and I'm not crazy about the visual improvement.

you go wider in the rear for better traction off the line. just don't go too wide or else it'll sap the torque and slow you down. if you put wide tires in the front, they'll want to keep going straight when you're trying to turn. so you go more narrow for better steering.

stagger=swagger 
Never forget my first staggered setup on my 1991 300ZX Twin Turbo. They were only 16's but I got some big ole fatties back there...lol I think the speedo was definitely jacked up because I went up to like 275 on a 16x8 or 16x8.5 (can't remember) rim!! lol
