Actually, as I write this, I'm emailing these pics to my "Photoshop Guru" buddy and he will definitely know for sure. My thoughts: For one 20' chrome wheels such as these will easily tip the scales at @ 50+ lbs. each!!! That's like having an average 6 ft man riding with you! So IMO definitely too much weight. Also, I'm not really feeling "this type" of wheel on a Z or any sports car for that matter. These are wheels I could see on a Lexus or any Sedan. And strangely enough, they don't look like 20's to me. Although I will say that wheels with lips tend to have that appearance. It's a nice looking wheel, but just not for the Z.

Well, it's official, they are real wheels and not chopped. But they could in fact be 20's!

Just a little too bling-bling for the Z IMO.

Sorry I didn't return in time to field the Photoshop question guys.

These are real 20" rims and not a photoshop job. If it is a PS job, the guy that did it was/is a master of manipulating light angles and reflections off chrome. Not impossible, just way time consuming.

I like them on the Chrome Z but I didn't like them on the Brickyard. Sort of thought on the Brick they made the car look tiny. Must be the angle tho...

OK after a little research I found out the the wheels in question could be 20's but the widest they come in are 8.5 which means you can get a 255 on it if thats what you want. It's funny that even the 18/9.5 that NISMO did seems to fill up the well better than that. 20x8.5 just don't cut it. I don't care if you get 18,19...just get 9.5. Oh yeah the cost wasn't that bad. I saw them on wheelmax for $410 per wheel.
