None of those wheels belong on any Vette or F-body as far as that goes. 18's tops. Some f-body's can get away w/ 19's.

look at mine, CCW 505A's. i did NOT want a 19/20" setup, but they were too good of a deal for me to pass up at the time. i figure i'd have no trouble recouping the funds if i ended up not liking them.

I bet 5 years ago everyone thought 18s were too big, and called them rice. Now, 90% of all new cars have 18s or bigger.
Let people do what they want to their cars, that's all I have to say.

...but in regards to wheel sizing, there IS a line that needs to be drawn somewhere, but it doesn't really concern size so much as it does the ratio of wheel diameter to open space in the fender well + ride height. a GREAT example is the new Silverado. go look at one with a 18" rim or smaller, stand back and notice the wheel wells, tire sidewall, and physical size of the truck compared to the wheel. (yes it's a truck, not a hotrod). point being, you'd really need a 24" wheel to make that truck look "ok" to some people. put 24's on an old blazer,
.IMHO 18's or 19's are about the limit on a 4th gen F-body to maintain a good, tasteful appearance and not look like you're trying to show off your "donk whip," or whatever...

from the pics i saw on that website theres WAY better custom wheel companys to buy from. check out CCW or Iforged
20s on Fbody is hit or miss, I usually think it looks like ****. But if its tastefully done (most of the time with CCWs from what i've seen) it comes out looking decent.

Ive done many vetts with a 22/20 combo that have turned out well.
You can do a 20/19 or a 20/18 combo. or a 20/20.

I'm not talkin about the wheels those can be changed, but the wing! Who ever had that wing put on, not to mention that its hideous but they also had to drill holes in the body to mount the wing! Just kinda ruined the car IMO.

It really depends on the wheel type. Generally anything bigger then 18's look too big for these cars. Some 19's are able to work but its quite rare.
The reason the 20's on Silver UltraZ's Camaro look good IMO is because of the added GFX. The GFX make the car 'larger' and add a bit more to the length of the wheel arch. (*btw nice spoke design).

i kno what it is; is his his lip kit that makes those 20's look nice. If he didn't have the lip kit the car would look like it was lifted like that POS C6. That is the fist Camaro on 20's i have ever seen that actually looks bad ***.
