a good set of used wheels can easily be found for that price without tires

So you want us to decide how you are going to spend $2000? I vote you just give me the money if you want me to choose how to spend it.

umm buddy its called giving "suggestions" to help someone find wheels. Theres 1000's of different kinds of wheels and its not easy finding good ones for a certain price.

I’m not sure I understand your question...

But I wonder if you also want to know about wheel offsets, various widths in a 19” wheel size, tire sizes for this wheel, etc.

19x8.5” is the minimal size for 19’s. That would be a starting place for your fronts, but you should consider at least 19x9.5” for your rears. Black spokes with a polished rim (but not chrome ) look great on most Z’s (especially black Z’s and Redline Z’s) so you’re pointed in the right direction on that preference.

Your stated budget is realistic for decent wheels (especially if you are willing to buy used wheels in the Classified section, or simply shop carefully for the best deal for new wheels).

I really think you need to rephrase the question so that you get better responses. Searching a little more will also be helpful (you can see what other members have done with their cars).

Well I'll just hijack this thread then. I'm specifically looking for 19" 8.5 x 19" 9.5 ALL black rims. I personally hate the black spokes + polished lip. Any suggestions to meet these needs?

Yes they only go to 18" but contact Gruppe-S and he has them in Black. Search on the forum for Black RPF01's

alright im having some problems with my current rims right now. when i bought my Z it had some zinik z2 sniper chrome rims on it (they look horrible). ok so i went out to measure the tire and for some reason i keep measuring 19.5"... i looked up the rim and this size is only found in europe or something like that... I dont know if im measuring wrong or if these are not normal rims. Anyone know??

Why limit yourself... You can fit 19x10's in the front and 19x12's in the rear. Those sizes would put some serious tire meat under your car and the lip would look sick!

With no adjustments to the body? It would fit stock suspension? Pictures of this setup?

If you pick and ship wheels to Gag83, I think a 10 percent commission is reasonable.
