I was just over at Sonic on Pleasant Grove and saw a dropped SS roadster on rainbow colored wheels. Is that one of the douchebags you guy talk about hanging out there? Because it would appear that he works at that Taco Bell.

please dont insult the z community by getting 20" dubs. you will change your cars feel from a sports car to a chrysler 300. people WILL laugh at you. 18s and 19s are the only size that looks good on the z anyway. dont be something your not. dont make the car something its not. MHO

Well I know what you mean lol. There are some z's in the aggressive wheel thread running 20's that are nice wheels and look good. I wouldn't get chromed out ghetto 20's lol. I am planning on 18's because 19's are way too expensive for tires so I was just toying with the idea.

gotta pay to play. dont be a poser. 18s are my favorite. makes the car looked slammed. look at member gotboosts 18" wheels in th varstoen thread in wheels section, they look incredible. and you wont have to sacrifice its perfomance. thats why you got a z in the first place right...

Yeah I already have had some 18's and sold them to switch it up a bit. I will most likely just get the 18's I've been looking at. I just wanted to get some opinions first . And yes I am into the z's performance and don't want to sacrifice any. Thanks for the opinion though. Here's my past set up.

AGGRESSIVE FITMENT THREAD and no, they dont look donk, and yes they still handle and perform. If you are hardcore into auto-x/tracking, then of course 20's wouldnt be ideal, but if you want them for the nice full look they provide (only if dumped might I add) then go for it and the car will still perform well because you have already upgraded the suspension. SO there is NOTHING wrong with 20's unless you track it more than Daily it, but....

...why not just go in between then, the 19's, if it worries you too much... there is a KILLER deal on some awesome VS-XX's in the marketplace right now that would already be gone if I had any sort of expendable income...

of coures, these are my opinions by what I have seen and driven...

looks good ryebread. get some lip on those 18s and they will stand out from the tire more and look bigger. if you wanna fill the gap more id suggest a tiny more drop, smaller sidewall on tire, and maybe look into 19s, tires arent THAT much more.

20's can be made to look good and if your not tracking, performance really isn't an issue. I was hardcore against 20's myself untill I saw some very clean and aggressive setups that kept daily driving functionality

As long as you dont donk the 350Z and you do it tastefully, not many will visually be able to tell the difference unless they look at your tire size.

I'm of the HUGE minority here and say they look fine. Mine came with them and I found that symetrically, they fit the fender shape better than the smaller options. I'm not part of the group (anymore) that thinks getting high-centered on a speed bump is cool.

20's on z33's look terrible unless you're tucking. even then everyone knows that's cheating. lol i remember ryebreadz trying to post in the wheel fitment ***** thread on zilvia... no go star ship commander. bigger wheels won't make you more flush, "stanced," or "fitted." imo anything over 18" needs to be tucking rim and 99.6% can't live up to the challenge. keep it simple with 18's and good sized tires and it will look good.
