I've seen that video, it's what made me want the ferradas. So sexy! They're 20x11.5 all the way around. I was thinking 20x9 and 20x10.5 for the Z would be the best function wise for 20s... even though I think 20x10.5 and 20x11.5 would look better. However, weight isn't the only factor that slows down a car though, so does diameter. When I put 20" Vossens on my G coupe it slowed the car a ton, and didn't quite ride as smooth. However I know Vossens aren't light, but they're not the heaviest wheel out there either. The weights on the Ferradas are 20x9 | 28.2 lbs - 20x10.5 | 29.3 lbs - 20X11.5 | 31.1 lbs which the stock wheels are 23.2lbs for the front and 23.8lbs for the rear... 94lbs vs the 115lbs for the ferradas... which is 21 lbs heavier plus the larger tires (I was thinking 265 front 305 rear but not sure) I was thinking of getting the Z1 2 piece rotors which would save 30lbs and leave me 9lbs lighter before tire differences.

Idk I'm so back and forth, 20s look great, but idk
