Sorry to be blunt: ditch 'em. Get a good lightweight, moderately priced wheel like the 18" Enkei Raijin.

Not a fan of 20's but the wheel doesn't look bad.

IMO , buy some 18's for play and keep your 20's for DD and show

You should have never had 20s on your z to begin with, sell them to someone who doesn't know any better and get yourself a nice set of 18s.

I say a paint job is a better idea, for looks those are fine. the bumper ruins it though. but get 18s if you get new wheels

In the FIRST pic and in the FIRST pic ONLY, they look alright. In every other pic, they look out of place. If the first pic is current, get paint, keep wheels, break necks, hurt feelings #othertrendyphrases. If it looks like the rest, throw those wheels away...for profit of course. If you're riding at your current height, 18's will be too small and goofy looking.

Now, I know 19's may add a bit of unsprung weight for your commute to and from Publix or Krogers, or Food Lion, or wherever, but I'm sure with enough hot laps, you'll be able to get your milk and eggs home in time. Weight is a ridiculous argument for any street car. It's like giving Gran Turismo tuning advice when you're playing Need for Speed.
