Well don't get too carried away here. The original concept of the Nissan Z is that it would be an affordable sports car that the average every day citizen would be able to afford. Making it difficult to get the value oriented rims defeats this original purpose. It is condescending. Plus the difference in handling between 18 and 19 inch rims is negligible. Nobody would be able to tell the difference. And some of us are responsible enough to have no need to spin the tires and look silly and to take the car to the track to ruin a perfectly good transmission anyway. I would personally want to try to keep the wear and tear as low as possible. Remember that these cars will be collectible and heavily sought after some day. It's best to take care of them.
Even when all the easy oil is gone from the ground people will still want these Z's and they would fill the tanks up with corn fuel Ethanol or some type of petroleum fuel made from algae at some algae farm in Arizona.
