I don't think 20s look bad on our cars, it all depends on what wheel design you have. And all everyone has their own preference on how they want their car to look. Those Z06 wheels in 20" don't look that bad, and would consider a pair for my T/A.

as we all know there is a traditionalist crowd and a rice crowd for lack of a better word. i prefer aftermarket wheels yes, but in a stock size. people are supposed to notice the car when you pull up because its rumbling like a storm is coming, not because your 20's are refletiing sun in their eyes.

haha i like that, thats quotable. I gotta agree 20's are a bit too big to look righ o these cars. I like some, if not most, 19s but that seems to be the limit for looking sporty, aggressive, and classy.

Why cant you have the rumble and the 20s? I have 19s on my car, and I think 20s would look good. Oh yeah, why are we a rice crowd because we like oversized wheels? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Too many people around here are pretty quick to call something rice if it isn't rolling on stock wheels, ZR1s, Y2k's, Z06's or TT2's...... theyve all been done to death

2 inch differnce f vs r looks goofier than 20's all around imo. and i dont see how you can like 19's and not 20's but i guess it depends on the car.

i think i have posted on this thread, but i gotta agree with some guys. 20's can look absolutely sick on our fbodies depending on which rim though.


like i mentioned there was a guy who posted a pic of his buddies red SS with 20" C5 Z06 rims and was bad ***...

sometimes too loud is horrible. large rims might get you less looked at and allows for the sorta sleeper thing going on. roll up on 19s or 20s with a quiet car thats packing is ideal vs a 15" loud car that doesnt out run the quieter one

ppl dont like change and usually go with what ppl think they should say. opinion is like an ******* they all stink.

Notice most manufactors are installing 20s on vehicles today, 15s dont look good nor do 16s look good on the 4th gens. and you speak of blow up?

It's all personal preference.. I have 18's for 1 purpose and 15's for another and think both look good on my car.. Most of the cars in this thread look great with 20's, IMO, but 18 is as big as I'm going..
