word of advice, don't get heavy wheels. most 20s will be amazingly heavy. my first set of wheels for the Z were 19s and weighed about 29lbs a piece. it is a noticable difference in performance compared to my 18s that weigh something around 22-23lbs a piece. if you got some higher end 19s you could get them around 18-22lbs.

That would constitute "rediculously large / blingy type wheels on your Z". The Z is a sports car, it's not ment to be "balla"

Flat black rims remind me of when we went to the drag strip and had to remove our hub caps to race. All of the stock steel wheels were painted black and I thought the cars looked horrible. To this day, I don't really care for all black wheels. I think black wheels need at least a bright chrome or polished rim. I have black wheels with a polished rim but am always thinking I should get new chrome or highly polished wheels.
