so my powers of deductive reasoning tell me that members generally don't like 20" chrome wheels on a Z??? but like someone else said, go w/ what YOU want....your car and your $.

I think American Racing is a pretty old name but as far as quality goes, I'm not really sure.

Those will kill not only appearance of the car (they literally DO look like SUV wheels) but also performance. 28 lb. isn't much for a 20" wheel compared to 26lb for a stock 18 touring, but it is a lot compared to a 19lb. 19" Volk.

davidv, seems that every three posts you write only changes your total posts by only one. So, if you have 5887 now, you more likely have about 15-20K.
Just an observation, guess I'm bored. Congrats!
