Wheels For 2004 350z Touring

I am thinking about purchasing new wheels for my 2004 350Z Touring (Black) and was wondering if most 350Z owners buy new rims for the looks only, since performance is based on the tires not the rims. Also, to maintain the performance integrity of the 350Z, what is the largest rims you would want to put on this vehicle?

Not exactly. Big wheels (19, 20 and 21 inches) are heavy. Heavy wheels adversely effect performance.

+1. If you're going to plus size your wheels most likely they will weigh more. Some exceptions are Konig Helium, and a couple others whos names escape me for the moment.

BTW...I'm running 19's no trouble and know there are more than a few running 20's too.
