Nothing wrong with 20's imo... It just depends on what you want...

20's are pretty heavy no matter the brand, you'll notice a difference in steering. so depending on what kind of driving you'll be doing with the Z i would just stick with 19's for overall performance.

Make sure the lug nuts are good and tight. Safety first.

If your front teeth are done in gold, and have a ghetto thumpin stereo system I would go 20's. If your not brainwashed with fast and furious, and MTV. Get nothing bigger than 19's.

IMO I'd never run anything over a 19, but there are a couple exceptions to the rule. There are some people running 20" Volks and Work wheels that look good. Anything outside of that will probably take some flamage.

Take the brake rotors off, run 13-inchers. Be different.

To each his own, but those DO look ghetto to me. Too big, too much offset (wheels sticking out way past the fender), and way too much stretch (any stretch = too much ).
