i got 18's, but i also read that anything bigger on a sport compact car can alter the way your car drives, handles, etc.

20's are rediculous. They don't belong on a Z AT ALL.

It depends on what you plan on doing with your car. If you track it, I'd stick with 18's. For the street, 19's are the biggest I would go, also the biggest that look right on the car.

Honestly, those don't look as bad as other 20's I've seen, but they still seem too big. There's not enough tire in there... what tires/size are you running?

Oh, here we go... "Don't hate"... whatever man. Since when did having an opinion constitute "hating"? I'm not hating one bit. I could get 20's if I wanted to, but I don't like the way they look. So, how is that "hating"?

Because you can afford it? Haha, that is a stupid comment. I see many 19" rims that are more expensive than 20s. 20's have become the new 18" rim so everybody makes them now. I can get a set of 20" chrome wheels/tires for under 2K. Not expensive at all.

19s with a lip. 18s look small with that sexy deep dish look that suits the Z so well.

^ That should be the sizes for a 19" rim. I'm running 19s and love them. I may drop down to some wide 18" Gramlites, after I go turbo though.

Do you race other Zs with smaller wheels?

I've had 19s on my Z but decided to drop it to 17s because of the huge weight difference. The 19s were 28lbs a piece compared to 16.5lbs for these babies.





here's a shot of the 19s

Those are the same Volk 19s that I have.

Go with some 20" spinners - you'll be the talk of the board
