i've had both 19's and 20,s i prefer the 20's for looks. in a straight line the 20's slow you down just a tad but on a road course it will slow you down significantly. This is why you keep your stock 17,s i don't see the big deal.

20" chrome rims on a z are just wrong, plus they draw way too much attention away from the car itself.

Some of you guys seem offended that some of us choose to place 20's on a Z...the car is still the same car. If you prefer 19's...so be it. Cheers to you. It's one inch. I personally feel performance is something that's highly overrated. So what if I get to my destination a couple of seconds slower. I did it in style...lol

I definitely notice that people on this site seem to feel their opinions on how a Z should look is written stone and it's blasphemy if you go against it.

with the right wheel and stance, 20's can look much better than 19's.

You guys are making it seem like the Z is a high performance super car and slapping 20's makes a huge difference. The Z is nothing compared to the cars we have nowadays straight out of the factory with 400hp. Unless you are FI I don't consider the Z to be fast with it's measly 280 to 300 hp. Of course if you have a smaller lighter wheel you will perform better but stop making it seem like you will lose seconds of a 1/4 run or a circuit lap. As I posted before and Nexx pointed out with the right setup and offset a set of 20's can look good but def NOT chrome IMO.
