In regard to a more Jap car oriented wheel, I am having difficulty defining that style.. I am getting a good deal from USWForged.com. There web site has a gallery with many styles. Which would you think fulfill the Jap style for the Z? Actually I would welcome many opinions on this topic. Thanks.

I looked at USW forgeds website and that may be your first problem... Those are all american style rims.
Let me give you a run down on jap style wheels. Lightweight focused, simplicity and clean lines. I am not sure your prices you are willing to spend on wheels and if you care about weight?
Below are some pics of Red Z's or red wheels. Hopefully you understand the difference.
The real question to ask you is how do you feel when people take an american car and rice it out? I assume you and your american car buddies made fun of that person. Thats what we are trying to keep you away from doing but it would be just the opposite americanizing a Jap car,
First pic is a Volk TE37 (knockoff but you get the point for style)
2nd pic is an OEM Nismo wheel
3rd pic- a legit Volk TE37sl with a red decal to tie in the red car
not overkill
4th pic- HRE wheel (made in USA BUT VERY NICE WHEELS) on a Porsche with a similar body style as the Z so you can see my point.
Simple lines, clean looking wheels. not too bulky of spokes etc.
