I love the top and bottom rims. I want something like that on my black impala ss, 20's x 8.5 if I could and lower it a tad. You do good work.

I don't like the white-wall, but interesting idea. Everything else looks pretty good, a little big for my tastes, but pretty good.

The Imp would rid very rough with 20s and when you got them under there i dont think you would have to do any lowering.

I've got 20s and my ride is at least as good, if not better than, stock (thanks to the Kumho tires).

I like the last ones best. You do good work. Can you fit a surpercharger or turbo under the hood, I'd like to see how that would look.

The wheels themselves look ok, just not real keen on the huge rims and really small amount of rubber.

Wouldn't 20s slow the car down?

I like the first & last, the last more than the other. I'm looking at a set like those in black.

Yes, technically, 20s will slow you down a bit due to the rotational mass of the wheels. Now, if you found a "performance" 20 that was lighter than the OEM wheels, you might negate this issue.

If you're asking why the ride would change if you went with 20s, the answer is b/c of the stiffer, shorter sidewall that helps to absorb the bumps in the road.

I would like to leave the size the same..18's, but get them wider for more rubber and a bit of a deep dish kind of look.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Now that I look, they are pretty big without a lot of rubber. I'm working on some other ones that are slightly smaller. All wheels except for the TTII's are from iForged.
