Honestly, it's good to be different. Why be like the rest right? Variety is the spice of life. Life in general needs Ying and Yang. An Abbott and Costello. A black and white. I was reading a colum in Modified Magazine, RJ Devera's column in the July issue, which is bolded and highlighted in red- "it's not about what I think is cool but respecting creativity and admiring amazing work."
Again, defining "amazing work" may be debatable and certainly is subject to personal likes and dislikes, but "respecting" is not.

no rubbing, no speed issues. They were only 2lbs heavier then the stock touring wheels. So far they have been strong, no problems, easy to clean and they get alot of attention. I got some Z center cap stickers that looks good

But to each his own, as long as your happy.

Example:
"Wow man that looks like ****ing ****..............but hey, to each his own." (of course nobody was that harsh, it just comes across weird)
For the record I think it looks a-ok. The Z centercaps make it look better.

I like em... If they were light weight, i'd like them more. The main thing which kept me away from chrome rims were the weight, not the look. Shiney wheels look nice, but usually weigh a lot. I was actually looking at a set of Sevas wheels that look like that but w/ black spokes and chrome barrel.

suggestions...
Not that its matters, but some suggestions for your Z that you can do
cheaply. Vinal Black Overlays, cleared out reflector headlights, polished side emblem chome, and gettig a rim guy to paint your inner rims gloss black, not too expensive. I think it makes the car look a lot mre clean. Its not the rims that is making it look to blingy, its the studs around the rims that reflecting off the rim thats just giving it too much. I myself like the clean look!
I really like your front bumper panel without the emblem and the writing on the back bumper rather then the Z sign, COOL
