you asked what people think, they are being honest. IMO anything over 19" on a Z is a waste. the car is a sports car, not a SUV or a donk

you need to talk to your friend with the ppw cause those wheels belong on a mustang. friends don't let friends drive their z with mustang wheels. and you definitely need to go with 285's in the rear. but it looks good.

having 20s on a z DOESNOT turn it into a rx8. this seems to be your response to every thread that has a z with 20s on it. a z with 20s only loses about 5hp due to the weight of the wheels. and i personally like the way it looks, as long as it is done right any size wheels look good on the z.

Mate... dont stress..
You asked for an opinion and you got one.. so long as you like em, thats what matters.. Drop the car and repost.. i bet the opinion will change some what.. most people will never get over the fact that you have 20's but you not tracking so who cares.. I have 18's and love em.. id like to go 19's (4 the look) but feel the perfromance is in what i have.. but thats just me. if every one hated on me for it i wouldnt care.. if i did care, i proly wouldnt ask though too.. lol.. now go SLAM that bad boy!

Your car looks great man! Really liking the wheels. It is real easy for some people to associate 20's with "ballin" because of the reputation of big wheels currently being emphasized on some ghetto cars, however the Z's fender actually accomodate the diameter of 20's quite well! This car has really nice proportions dubs look just fine. Others have more logical reasons for disliking 20's like the extra weight affecting performance. However, for some driving this car fast really isn't necessary. For everyday driving there just isn't enough space on the streets. Ever see people with exotic cars driving the minimum speed limit, just relaxing, chillin. 
We don't to floor the car every time to enjoy this car. If this is your look, it is what it is.

Ohh and dont plan on tracking or racing the car, just a clean car to go back and forth to and from school and work, I built an all out track/race car, having no a/c and no interior is not that fun. haha I do miss it tho.
Also, I will definitely go with a wider tire, being I bought them used, these tires were fairly new, and I can get about 7-8 months on them. I think I will have to run a 30 series tho, I do want to drop it, but not much at all, I really just want to adjust the stifness, maybe some Konis or something, The Tein Flex w/ EDFC was what I wanted, but i really would not use the full potential, so a nice spring and strut combo would be nice, give it that aggresive stance, while running a 285/30/20. What you guys think??

Well maybe still a little sluggish, but it will make up for it after 3000rpms...
