    Few people have them, I think they look a little sill on a z32. Kind of out of proportion.

    Yeah I'm with chrispy, don't suit a z32, just a bit too big.

    Also your link, while looking great, is for 18's.

    I considered 20" wheels with really low profile tyres. I was going to do a will.I.am vinyl the edge of the rim white so it looks like white walled tyres.
    I had a look at quite a few second hand 20" rims (that came off Fords) so much Damage, like bent / cracked / repaired etc. you might say, but Ford drivers and heavier cars, but these wheels also had bigger side walled tyres than they would have if fitted to a Zed.

    So unless you drive on perfect roads all the time, commonsense says you need a bit more rubber around the rim (you might also need better suspension).

    look at 19" and don't stretch the tyres.

    I gave up on that big wheel idea and just settled on 17" that had a good enough offset that didn't need spacers. I have been pulled over twice and defected on minor things, so I don't want to get done on wheels.

    20's are not the ideal choice, especially on the average NSW roads.

    insurance issue

    If your car has over two sizes of wheels over stock your insurance company can wipe you. If you don't tell them you have them fitted you might be fooling yourself thinking your insured. But if you do they wont insure you. Check with them first.

    You can get away with anything till your caught or have an accident.Then your insurance company can go over the car and wipe you if you have not told them. My son tried to go 3 sizes bigger than standard, he told his insurance company and they would not insure him.

    That also includes any illegal modification that you don't tell them about. As i said you can get away with anything till it comes for them to pay up. Then they are looking for ways not to pay if you have a bad accident.

    ^ this actually isn't true, at least in Vic. Legality is actually determined by rolling diameter increase. Off the top of my head think it allows +/- 15mm over largest stock offering but check vicroads website to be sure. Similar constraint with width & track.

    My 19x9.5" wheels with 275/30/19 tyres are legal in Vic.
