I was looking at them also. The ET20 is the offset and the (+271) is their price. You would want the get offset as close to 50 (the OEM offset) as you can. They aslo come in a 40 offset.

So what would the -10? offset effect? i guess if the offest was 50 they would ride like stcok rims?

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 10mm MORE.
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 10mm.

I'm not sure how much they weight but I'm sure they will be a little heavier then then the stock wheels. You can buy them cheaper at discounttiredirect.com:discounttiredirect.com (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.do). They also have a cool Interactive Wheel System where you can see what they will look like on your car. Also under the gallery that have some photos of 350Z with them on and I think they look hot.
