18 vs 19
It's not only the weight of the wheel, a light-weight wheel with a larger diameter is pushing the weight farther from the hub and will negatively affect acceleration, braking, and handling. Race rubber will be difficult, if not impossible, to find for a 19" wheel and you will notice the serious track guys won't go over 18. I have 17inchers on my enthusiast and wouldn't dream of going any bigger. Pay to go slower, no thanks.

19s just look too big IMO. You look like the 4x4 that is sporting 26's. Just doesn't seem right on the Z. You need to see a Z with 19s in person to really get a feel. The pictures don't show the true look of them.
All depends on people's opinion. I am a big performance guy. But then i bought myself 19" Fine Forged Volk wheels(SFChallenge)
I just like the polished lip, and the flush look. Guess looks took over this time. Plus it's not a big deal unless you would do anything to make your car less than half a second faster.
19" is a bit big, but does not look that big like people exaggerate^. This is because of the larger than average wheel space the Z has i guess?
Plus i plan on going Twin Turbo setup in the future. Will 19" wheels matter? **** no.
