Do any of you guys know if Volk will make wheels in 20" for the Z?

dont they make a few sets now?

I would talk about 20" rims completely defeating the purpose of light weight forged rims associated with performance, but that would cause a few flames, so I wouldnt want to say that.

If Rays ever makes 20" wheels with the Volk name on them they lose my respect. Leave the dubs to the Escalades and rap videos.

You know there are some big body Japanese cars that might look good with 20" wheels.

yeah, but they dont need forged rims, there are 2 classes, rays and volks, I believe the lower one makes alot of non-forged rims, that would likely come in 20s, but the higher end name that does forged should stay away from 20's, as they dont belong on larger cars.

Some of the nicest 20" and above rims are forged.

yeah forged are great, very light and strong, but a car with 20" rims should be on the track, a lack of performance tread in those sizes should be one indication.

people with money buy **** like that for no reason, i dont try to understand what the appeal is of spending massive amounts of money to have 24" rims on your hummer. I guess having them forged is just one more notch on your belt to brag about.

I think it's up the individual on how they want to balance performance and looks. On the 350z 19s seems to fit perfectly and seem to be a good balance. But if some might like the look of a 20 more and willing to sacrifice the small amount of performance lost.

Rays Genome might make some wheels in 20" format. But then, Rays Genome is for luxury cars. If I had a Q45 or an LS430 I would prolly get a set of Roots in 19" for it.
