Default Got My 20'S

Hey Guys..
I finally got my 20". The car looks fantastic. I get a thumbs up at almost every light.
I got them balanced and checked to find no bends or anything. Straight as an arrow. (pre-owned)
One big thing! Huge! My car is noticably slower.. Granted at my age I don't speed "Everywhere" I go but the car is not as quick on the take off. I know this is due to the weight of the rims and the diameter size of the tires but MAN! I loved my zippy car but man it looks good at slow speeds.
I also assume with the extra weight my breaks will work over time. With the Brembos, that going to hurt......

20's = ghetto and do not have a purpose on a sports car. I can see them on a Cadi or SUV but on a Z? Nah not for me..... But if you like it then thats all that matters... Post up some pics.

Im gonna try to post some picks asap. I do love the look. #1 in my opinion.

Currently I will be running them at the stock height but may lower in the future. I do know with lowering comes camber adjustments as well.

245 up front and 285 in the rear. The car looks MEAN!.... Today I got my ECU adjusted by my Z tech and will get an extra 6hp to the rear wheel to compensate for the weight. Can't wait to leave work and test it out......

20's don't look bad on a Z at all. To me the Z needs to be lowered to pull off 20's, but more power to you. PICS or DIE!!!

20's wouldn't come near my car, but to each their own. It would still be nice to have some pics.

Congrats on your 20's! I run the same and alternate w/my nismo wheels. I have found positive comments from both sets and of course some prefer one over the other. I run lower profile on my 20's and equates to the same diameter as 19's. As for weight, I think the car can handle an extra 5lbs a wheel. Go for what you like, when a car is just built for approval of others it just really isn't yours.
