Default 20in HRE's on a WS6?

Hey guys, well i've got a friend of mine that is letting me have his 20 inch HRE's with tires for 1500.00, they run around 1500.00 per wheel @ a total price of 6 grand brand new. I Really like the way they look, but are 20inch wheels to big for a 1999 30th ws6? I know all the new cars are now coming out with larger wheels neways? so whats your take on this? if anyone has any t/a's with 20's post up some pics or links..? Ohh and for those of you that dont know anything on wheels, these wheels aren't your average rapper wheels, more of a track look. I dont have the exact model, but most of HRE's line up are nice looking. Thanks, Ramiro

1500 bux for all 4 with tires that's pretty damn cheap, HRE makes nice wheels but don't know about 20's on an fbody though, it wouldn't be good for comfort and stuff.

20's are a hit or miss....very few f-bodys can pull them off but when they do the wheels look great.

agree with the hit or miss ^. As long as the 20s arent ghetto bling bling rims then your chances are it will look good, so with HREs your prob safe! I have seen mostly CCWs in a 19/20 combo and it always looks good.. dont think i have seen 20s on all corners though. For 1500 those wheels are a steal!

That sounds like a really good deal!!!!!!!!! and it may even look IF you drop the car some.... assuming you aren't lowered already.

Here's an idea for you.... see if you friend will let you bolt them up and take some pics before you buy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it comes to 20's on a 4th gen, it really depends on the brand and style of wheel. Some look ghetto, some look killer. Newer cars fit 20s easier because they use a 27" tall tire, instead of our shorter 26" tire. So, our 19s fit/look like their 20s.

Ebay the **** outta those bad boys and get a nice set of 18" CCw's or bogarts. Atleast that would be my first idea.

Like a previous posters said, mount them before you buy them. You might not like the look of them.

Gotta a guy selling 19x10 ft and 20x10.5 3pc Klasse wheels for 1500 in mint condition.
I am thinking over it, but think the wheels might look a little too big. http://www.klassforgedwheels.com/
