Modified roadsters (post pics here)
^^ I am liking the BBK. I wouldn't mind doing the same. I would get new wheels or leave the stock wheels alone. Do you have an example picture of what you are going to do with your wheels? All in all, your roadster looks good Chad.

Do you think these wheels look good? Just got a new set of wheels (used), do you think these look ok, they are not chrome, just polished lips, 20" with 20mm offset. Need advice before i sell stock rims.

Just got her back from the paint shop! Added a Shine Auto Project V2 nose/skirts/rear add-ons, and shine's clone of the C20 roadster spoiler. Just received my BBK this morning (Akebono 40th annivers. kit) but may be a week or two before I have time to install it. I've also got a set of eyelids painted to go on it but I still can't decide whether or not to use them (they definitely make it look more aggressive from the front, but I'm afraid they might be getting a bit "ricey" if you know what I mean! I'll try to post some pics with them for comparative purposes later).

KT, the wheels look a little busy, however, if you like them, keep them. No need to fall in line and purchase the most popular wheels. Make your ZR, yours! It is good to see some creativity with the personal touch of the Zs.
subtle 50%
don't want new wheels, stockers are a great looking wheel, just want to change the look a little and black chrome is an awesome look!

I am not really a big fan of 20" wheels on a 350Z. Unless you have the power to push the heavy wheels and have a big break kit to fill in the open space behind the wheel. But hey you are lucky to find used wheels. You probally save $1000s. I like the polish lip over chrome. I like that you found a used wheel with a decent offset. I would sell the OEM wheels, unless they are the OEM Track Wheels. If they are track wheels, you can keep them just incase you decide you wanted your roadster to drive faster. If looks is all you are after, you are going in the right direction. It looks good.
love the Z center cap.. going to try and black chrome the Nissan center caps.. if that turns out good... going to buy those Z center caps and do that to them

Sometimes Nothing Makes Sense... 
If I could do it again, I would get wheels with a lower offset.
I dont like the fact that I had to use spacers to get the flush fit I have.
I would get 18x9.5+10 front and 18x10.5+10 rear.
