what do you think?

i was reading on here earlier about 20's on F-bodys. I have a 2001 ws6 lowered an inch and a half with foose speedsters, 20x8 on the front and 20x10 on the back with bfg 275s. Just posting up a pic to see if you think it looks bad like all the others posted on that thred.

Not the greatest pics, but they don't look too bad.

really doesn't look to bad. my only gripe is that you definitely need some big brakes now. 20's dwarf the stock calipers and rotors.

Personally, I don't like anything larger than an 18" on the F-Body, just like I don't like anything bigger than a 20" on a SUV/Truck. I just don't understand adding that much weight to the vehicle, and having it perform worse just for the "bling" factor.

To each his own though. I've definitely seen worse 20s on F-Bodys.

They aren't bad, but I prefer a premium brand such as CCW, Iforged etc if you are going to go 20s for the most part.

Nice car....

i agree with most of you big brakes would look sick but i think i could spend that much money else where if you see what im saying (aps) haha i just thought that they look good on the car being lowered and the pics were taken with a cell phone. Other stuff has been done to the car since, that pic is about a year old or so. The side molding has been removed and everything is blacked out, it looks sweet.

How's your 1/4 with those on? Better yet what's your turn radius like? Those things had to drop the overall performance of the car.

Look's decent enough but I agree with the poster about you needing some humongoid brakes now. Try some 18's.
