Looks awesome. I am still scared of Sevas though.

Looks amazing. How has the car treated you as a daily driver? Any issues/dislikes?

1. Sevas is out of business anyways.

2. Those busted wheels in that thread are all the cheap *** 1-piece wheels they had made in China. Probably from the same factory that several of you guys buy your cheap *** 1-piece wheels from. Most of those companies just slap a new company centercap on the wheel for you. I only carry multi-piece forged wheels, not junk.

22K miles so far, no problems. Great car, seems well-built compared to most previous GM stuff.

LOL. You get what you pay for when it comes to wheels, and when it comes to 1-piece overseas junk you sometimes get less than you pay for

IMHO, on the 10" rear, a little wider tire might have looked good. Maybe a 295 or even a 305. Tire doesn't looked "stretched" by any means, but does seem to be just a hair too small. Regardless, the wheels looks really good!!

It's amazing how even 20s don't fill up the wheel well mor than that. It's perfect IMO though. Very nice choice.

Larger wheel size does not make the outer diameter of the tire increase in size. Larger diameter wheels just means thinner sidewall height, the outer diameter of the tire remains the same. Now, if you go with taller tires (28" tall vs 27", for example) then it might fill a fender opening some. But, that could also screw up clearance issues or speedometer/ABS/shift points stuff too.
