The only thing I have against 20's is people who get them usually get a really thin tire...
235's are really narrow....
Those wheels look alright though I guess.

because 20s are for trucks and the Pimp-my-Ride wanna-bes. They are good looking wheels; but some will say that they don't look good on an F-body. 17''-19'' is big enough for most. But you shouldn't give a crap what people think as long as you like the way they look. Just don't put spinners on or we'll really come down on you.

Those wheels don't work for me even if they were 16's, but if you like them go for it.
They definetly fit the aggressive look of your car. My biggest problem with anything above 18 is clearance, plus 20's make you slower even though you get better handling.
BTW, 20's are what they have on the 05 Saleens, so they're not just for "trucks and Pimp My Ride wannabe's".

Car looks great. If those were 18's IMO they would be perfect. I agree with what ddelatta posted 20's are for SUV's And the bigger the rim give you more spinning mass with take more HP to turn. I have 18's as well but run stock 16 at the track. Clean lookin car though just a little overkill on the rims. I'm sure you get alot of good looks thoug.

I've noticed most of the new cars coming out have massive wheel wells.... 20s on the mustang looks pretty good IMO because a dealer by my house has a ton of new Stangs on 20s in the front lot. They can run a 20 inch rim with a 40 series sidewall on the tires... so its not the rubber band tires we'd be forced to run.... For comparison, and most people here already know, the TA and Camaro run a 40 series sidewall on a 17 inch wheel. I currently have 17s on my car, but I've already ordered 19s that are on the way... I like the look of a wheel well that's filled. Other new cars coming out are offering larger wheel sizes too (not all perf cars tho... 300C, Charger, GTO, Corvette, Mustang, Crossfire, Solstice, etc...)

it works well with the agressive front end of that car. It's not my style, but I do give credit where credit is due, it makes the car stand out.
Personally, I like a clean 5 spoke look, large enough to be noticable, but not large enough to be overkill. I see no reason to go larger than a 18 on a f-car.

i think they look good, but only because of the other features on the car, on a stock looking car the would look rediculous. thoes are so big it kinda looks like a bad photoshop, got any more pics?

19's look great if the wheel is tasteful and not gawdy. 20's are just too much even if it's an HRE. The wheels above are extremely far from HRE's.
Might as well throw performance out the window with 20's.
