20" on road trip from NY to FL back 2 NY

Need some advice. The title explains it all. I have 20 inch DONZ Genovese wheels on my g35 sedan. Should i slap on the factory wheels for the trip?? I feel like it might be too much being that the wheels are heavy. Also i have 20" size matters emblems on my G...lol...gonna look funny with 17's back on. What would you guys do.

You bought the wheels to show em off, so show em off. I don't think the extra weight of the wheels is going to matter much at constant freeway speeds. More wear and tear on the car (brakes, transmission, etc.) occurs in heavy stop and go or race track conditions.
Just my opinion, but I'd leave them on. (Unless of course you know you will be driving on roads where there is a high probability will get damaged).

I say leave em on. The bigger the wheel, the longer it takes to get up to max speed. On the other side, once you get there, the easier it is to maintain speed or slow down. In other words, big wheels are made for high speed. They require less energy to maintain high speeds. Keep em on.
