JmanZ,
Do you know the width, offset and tire size. It would give us some reference for other wheel and tire combos.
I'm sure you're gonna get weight questions, too. I already know that one , heavy.
Thanks

It may be that I just woke up but its hard to tell if those are 20's. When the pic of the 19'volks came out maybe it was a little deceiving but the 19's were buried in the wheel wheels but I do know that they dropped it as well. These 20's must not be 9.5 rear or 8.5 in the front. I want bigger rubber as well. The Silver looks good though, but for these to be 20's it looks like the Z would accomodate 22's at standard height. If you're gonna go bigger you have to go wider as well. It'll look funny if you don't. I also want to know the offset? Nice pics...

Very sexy, but very expensive!
Those 20"s look strangely small, much smaller than the Volk 19"s. I'm not a big fan, but I'm sure some Lowenharts would look excellent. Where the hell is TX?

Do y'all have any idea how much those wheels would hurt your car's performance?
- they prob. weigh quite a bit more, both from the wheel itself and all the chrome => not good for acceleration or handling
- the Z's already stiff ride will get even worse.
Just my opinion, but I think 18's will provide the best compromise between looks, performance, and ride quality.

Those chrome wheels look awesome on the Z but, they don't look like 20"'s. I would think that 20"'s would fill up the wheel wells a bit more than that. But I think we need our resident expert (TXSTYLE) to weigh in on this one.

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.

But no, those are definitely different from the concept's wheels. Daytona's right, they're Kinesis wheels.
