It's all about how YOU feel when you drive the car.
Example-
1. Take two hot chicks and put them in front of your car and the one with the gunmetal 18's above.
2. Ask them which one looks better.
3. Case closed.

Get what you want
Hey unless you're building your car for acceptance who cares. Now I'll admit that when you see those old caprice classic's with 24's on it, they look stupid but we're talking an inch. I have 20" axis shine's on an '07 and have gotten nothing but compliments. Personally I didn't think they looked right without the lowering kit but that should be in this weekend and I will post pics.

@phreaktorLast I checked, I didn't mod my Z for girls to like it. That just shows that some people have to MAKE their car appeal to females while some either don't care... or don't need to. I suppose if girls liked nutless bishes they're go cut your ***** off.
I find it a little funny that a name like fastass350z is looking for 20" wheels. Should have named yourself fatass350z. You do realize that putting 20s on your car will RAISE it therefore a slight drop will not slam your car. I'd imagine you could make it up any curb in a 4x4 Z.

^ Agreed, like I said earlier, Get what you want and you think looks good. There is no need to call anybody out and what their car looks like. As someone did with me. I was just trying to defend the comment on 18" wheels.

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...eebo400016.jpg heres my 2004 on 20"s , stock suspension at the 2007 "Z" nationals, 20x8.5 fr , 20x10 rear...i dont feel like it effected any performance at all, the wider rear actually helps me get out the hole quicker at qualcomm racelegal than my stocks, and my last dyno at motorsports auto with motordyne pulled 262hp and 249tq with only a jwt popcharger and X02 exhaust, not too bad for a 287 nonrevup.

Jeeze if you dont have 20's on your car dont post. He didnt ask, hey I want 20's tell me why I shouldnt get them? He asked getting 20's want to know what it would look like on a stock ride height and Lowered.
Some of you give me the vibe like your just waiting to bash on someone. It's his car and what he wants to do to his car is his problem.
This is supposed to be a 350Z Forum/Community not a place were one gets bashed for asking a question. You want to pay money for wheels that are the same size as your stock by all means do it and a round of applause for you. I personally think thats a waste of money, but you dont see me bashing you 18 inch lovers.
20's stock height
20 Lowered on Eibachs

I'd MUCH rather have an 18lb wheel vs a 30lb or more wheel. I bought a sports car with the plans of not making it heavier than it already is.
Guess I prefer performance over looks.

Funny My insurance still thinks its a Sports Car. I told them it cant be it has 20's and they said that doesnt change a thing. Hmmm.....
I still drive my car as it was intended to be driven. 20's have not effected my ride what's so ever. It has however effected the WOW factor. Witch is why I bought them.
I haven't tracked my car and if I do I will be putting my stock wheels on. I still think spending money on wheels the same size as your stock wheels is a waste. Yes there are lighter wheels out there, but there are lighter cars to.
