plus you can find some good deals on craigslist
Then why not save for another month and get some decent rims? That's what I would do. I know these are $400 but.... they look like they were pulled off Jim Jones' beamer from 6 years ago

It's your car man, so whatever floats your boat.

I personally would rather uninstall my life than buy those.

Awful. If you're going to cut corners just to satisfy your "I want something now" urge, then just don't bother. Otherwise, be patient, save up some money and look around for a proper set of wheels that actually good quality, fit the Z and look good.

Amen to both statements.

I had 20" chrome wheels on my Z. It didn't rub, but they were ridiculously heavy and the ride quality was awful. I saved up and bought a used pair of 18" LMGT4s for $800 and was so impressed with the difference in performance that I bought another set of LMGT4s in case the first set was stolen. The second set was only $860. Those types of deals come up from time to time, just keep an eye on forum classifieds or craigslist.

If you can't save up for quality, then you'll just have a collection of cheap "upgrades" on your car. I'd personally have one useful, quality upgrade than multiple cheesy ones, but then again it's your car

Edit: Take a look at how tiny the brakes look in the craigslist ad pictures. 20"s are really not aesthetically suited for our cars.

For the love of god do not buy those wheels. I would not put them on my car if they were given to me. They belong in the trash. Honestly.

muthaFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUT those wheels. If you have to spend money on something that you don't need nor plan on buying, do the exhaust. If he's selling it for $300 picked up, he's either stupid or it's a replica. Either way, it's $300. What else you really doing with that money besides trying to buy some bunk wheels? Those aren't the ugliest wheels that anybody has ever put on a Z, but they're strong competitors.
