Pics of 20 inch TE37!
even though i got flamed by my boys, when i mentioned i was gonna get 20" rims. i still got em, cuz i think 20" wheels look perfect on the z
i don't track the z so extra 3-4 lbs of unsprung weight each corner does not bother me at all.
b.t.w. will they offer te37 in both polished and non polished lip version?

Besides if the car was set up right I don't see how someone with 19's will run better than someone with 20's. I think the whole purpose of getting 19's is to get as close to 20's as possible without getting flamed for having 20's, otherwise everyone would stay with stock size. Most people don't even track there cars they just want them to look nice. I didn't buy my Z to race every little turd on the street or track I bought it because for the money you get a great car. I am not against 19's and not agaionst 20's either. Besides this whole board has 19" Volks. Boring. I love the look of Volks but **** if everyone has them what's the point. I have never ran track so can't speak from experience but I can't think 20's would be too bad when grand prix cars run huge *** wheels.
Sorry for the rant...does anyone have anything knowledgeable to say regarding the 19's vs. 20's besides personal opinion?

le37 = polished lip

so why arent all the track racers removing their headlining

I just bought the second series of a Z33 only Magazine here in Tokyo and it has them. Rays are using the Amuse Silver Z33 to showcase them. Looks great but pity it loses the concave/dish effect.

Because the force the same, if the weight is more then the movement is less; conversely, if the weight is less then the movement is more. A (lighter) wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are often sought for high-performance applications. In contrast, a (heavier) wheel which moves less will not absorb as much virbration; the irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the geometry of the suspension and hence ride quality is deteriorated
Makes sense somewhat but still think if it were these Volks or another racing wheel company they would take that into consideration. Thanks for the definiton it helps me understand a little bit more why the track people might be opposed to them.

They can't do anything about it ... Volk, Rays, Fikses etc ... simply put .. a larger wheel (of the same design) no matter how you shake it is always going to be worse.
Moment of inertia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The moment of inertia of an object about a given axis describes how difficult it is to induce an angular rotation of the object about that axis. For example, consider two wheels of the same mass, one large and one small in radius. The smaller wheel is easier to accelerate into spinning fast, because its mass is concentrated close to the axis of rotation. Conversely, the larger wheel takes more effort to accelerate into spinning fast, because its mass is spread out further from the axis of rotation. Quantitatively, the smaller wheel has a smaller moment of inertia, whereas the larger wheel has a larger moment of inertia.

So maybe for racing they suck but if you don't race, them things are pretty tight.
