I think part of the appeal of these wheels is how shiny they are. However, i think that they'd look better powdercoated b/c out of the box i think they'er a bit gaudy for the Z in their shiny state, but then i feel like powdercoating wheels that are that shiny is a waste of their shinyness. Its a vicious cycle. What color woudl you be powedercoating them? I think a gunmetal would look nice on your car.
No biggy... I know I came out sounding harsh and I wracked my brain a bit on how to rephrase it so it would not be so but that was the best I could do. I'm glad you didn't take it the wrong way =)

Yes, you are right in saying I have done my research which I do for anything I put into my car and thank God for these forums for making it easier for me. I do agree that they're pretty gaudy in their original finish which is why I don't want my car seen with them on until after they have been powdercoated. I'm thinking matte black or as you suggested, gun metal... something dark to contrast the pearl white of my car.
