Depends on the style of wheel. One of our members here has 20" iForged Aeros on his car and it looks kick ***. Big wheels aren't great for traction or handling, but they do look sweet for shows and cruises. I love the look of my 19s: www.35thSS.com

As long as you do it right and dont get some Lexani crap wheel, it will look baller. Lowering is a must also.

As long as its not a luxury looking wheel and the car is lowered it would look good. If the car is not lowered i wouldnt even think about it. I have 20's and they fill the huge wheel well perfectly. I have been thinking about 19's with a larger tire.

What they said.... I love the wat iForged 18's look on an F-Body...... and yes 19's also Tony and Alex.
IMO 20's are to big unless you are going show and way to big in the front to look good or even trying to turn....

19's are really the last step of performance oriented wheels.

I had 19/20 HREs on my 98 WS6 and my 02 Vette. Just click on the link in my sig. Sorry for the poor quality but I have a junk digital camera, I am going to scan some different pics of the T/A and add new pics of the SS with the iForged wheels/335 rear tires

Ive seen a local car into the 11's with 20s. There is a video @ Ls1speed.com of larrys camaro on 20's @ the track as most of you already know. I think if done correctly as 9 ball as well has shown 20's can be sweet

Yea well its hard to actually read the specs when you have pictures of such a gorgious car above them. Further more wax I bet you wouldnt be able to tell if "Tony's" car was sittin on 20's or 19's if he had not told you or had an upclose shot of the tire.

True, most people assume I have 20s by just looking at the car or photos. The flat soft lips that are ultra-deep on these wheels make them look bigger than they really are. I don't think I'd want 20s, these tires are already pretty thin (but still ride smooth surprisingly)

LMAO! ... FWIW.. I know Tony's car has 19's on it because I have rode in it. Secondly, I know how to read.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/104415-photos-19-hp-racing-wheels-ss.html
