Advice for these rims on my G
#17
I've been running 18's with a mild drop for years.
I like the 18's but I know they're not for everyone. I like them but I don't think they look too small. I've never run anything LESS than 10.5 (the middle set are 12's in the rear and 9.5 front). Even at 12 inches wide, I can still slide a LITTLE bit. Not a lot, but it at least breaks traction.

Thanks again Mr. Brooks I like your specs on tire preference. This might sound childish but I still want to be able to pill out, and etc like a kid I don't want to be just for looks . I want to what's it's intended to do . I've seen a lot of guys who have 20's with tremendous power and looks great and plus I'm not planning on slamming mines or having it stupid flush right now . I want a nice set up that doesn't hurt power , or handling.

Yeah. I'm honestly not a fan of those wheels either. There's fun to be had in the marketplace on here AND on the forum that is for Z's that is a sister to this forum that is signified by the possessive noun, MY (my350z dot com).
That said, at the end of the day, if YOU like the wheels, go with them. Because it's your car and you've got to be happy with it. Whether you spend 100 dollars or 100 THOUSAND dollars, if you're not pleased with the look, you have to deal with that displeasure.
Personally, with 20's (which are a touch on the large side to me), you need some diversity in your wheel. Something with a lip or some pattern that isn't a plain spoke. Nothing makes 20's look huge like simplicity (not that it should be some blingy wheel, but some good examples of 20's have been displayed here). The wheel you showed looks like an MB Battle...which is a great wheel, but its largest diameter is 18 (they've been on numerous track Z's and track styled G's). In a 20inch, it doesn't work. So, I'd keep that in mind.
The good thing about 20's is you can get low without being low. What I mean is 20's with a 35-45 series tire sidewall and a mild drop (Eibach Sportlines at MOST) eats up your wheel gap and makes your car LOOk slammed without making it unfunctional. It's a really cool thing (to me at least).
good luck either wayt
