Rims are a lil big. Try some 17's in a Traditional 5 Spoke Style.

Nice TA, man. Not trying to bash or hop on the bandwagon here but, the wheels look like they belong on an import. Not a bad *** TA. I'd get something a little more aggressive, ballsy even. Something worthy of the power attached to those four wheels.

Bigger rims = ghetto

Bigger rims actually hurt your performance by increasing your rotating mass. Thats why drag slicks are on small rims. Silly ricers.

that is true considering that the weight of the rims is the same. it can be countered by reducing the weight of the rims. the larger rims do better on the twisties as there is less sidewall, so if you wanted the perfect rim for a race car, you would get a good compromise in size (17/18) and use a lightweight metal. oh and drag slicks are on smaller rims mostly because you need a bigger sidewall. so if you want big rims, do it right and get iforged fiske hre, or ccw. if you cant afford those, then get some smaller rims. seriously, the style isnt that bad but they are too big.

Actually, they are on small rims because tires with more sidewall = more traction But a big rim does hurt performance, you are correct.

20's dont work well with cars like these. doesnt look right.

i wouldnt go any bigger then 18's but if you do the z06 wheels do 17's front and 18's back

or TTII's 17x 9.5front and 17x11 back

chrome or poliched would be sweet on the white, or the black wheel with polished lip

car looks good but those rims would never grow on me but its just my opinion

That is cause the z06 rims and red calipers look good on f-body's. And, I can't tell you how many people comment on my rims. Everyone on the message board has them, but I don't see many elsewhere. Go with what you like, and if you like the 20's, you have em, stick with em. They will get attention!
