You asked for an opinion so I'll give mine. The Z is a sports car. Therefore, it's not the kind of car (IMHO) where a wheel mod should be to ADD weight. Air weighs less than metal as does rubber.

But....if you're looking to turn it into a pimpmobile, get 20s (in chrome).

If you're looking to shave off a bit of weight, go with gram lights or a similar light wheel in a smaller size.
I don't get any **** from anyone about my chrome 20's on my roadster. Of course, I'm the opposite of stock. IMO, it really depends on a lot more than just knowing what model of car and size of wheel to make an opinion about it.

Lookin' Sharp Quad!



Any plans on a front lip or bumper? I like the sides but seems incomplete without the front. Not having the rear you can get away with.

The wheels are not over the top. 20's may be heavier, but I'm not looking to shave a tenth of a second on my 1/4 mile ET. If the wheels look good and you are OK with the performance, then go for it. I see nothing wrong with 20's. Especially if you go with a lightweight wheel.

Are you serious? I've got to see pictures of this!

EDIT: Is this it? Sweet Jesus

Mine came with chrome 20s from the dealer (I didn't want to pay for them, so they just gave them to me with the car). Can't use my traction control. They are a bit heavy, but they look alright, I suppose.

Different strokes for different folks. I did mine all chrome on 20's
Why?...... I like to be different and have my own style. Imagine if we all drive the same car with same wheels. I'd rather keep it stock if that was the case.
