Personally I like the 20's better than the generic 17" "ZR1" wheels you have now.
That being said, I think both of them look like crap vs some of the "Nice" big budget HRE, Fiske, BBS, CCW, etc type of wheels.
If it were my $$$$ and my car, I'd get the correct factory wheels on it, ones with a GM stamp, not some cheap aftermarket replica bs like those ZR1's .

I like the 17s a lot better, though the 20s did not look as bad as most. I hate 19s and 20s on these cars. The tires are only 25-26" tall on these cars and they look like crap with rims that large, not to mention handle worse than a grocery cart.
I think there are better looking 17/18" wheels for your car, but those look pretty good.
My DD is Dodge SRT8 and see guys putting 24s on them and think they are dumb too. At least the Dodge has a 29" tall tire, so I find 20s on them acceptable.

Another vote for the 17's. 20's on Firebirds are too big.

Ill tell you the truth. The twenties were not my taste in SIZE. But if you could have gotten the new wheels with the yellow lip like the 20s? I think it would have been perfect.
I may be the only one in here that thinks that was a good look. But I think it had the exact amount of compliment on the color scheme.

looks better now, just need the right sized tire in the rear. the 20s didnt look too bad. and I had the same wheels. just painted them black because the polished lip made them look small.

20's have no place on a sport/muscle car. The ride suffers along with the braking and handling from the extra weight on these cars.
you sir have a very nice car with the new set of wheels on it..

Try telling Corvette ZR.1 and Viper owners how much their handling and performance sucks with their stock 19 and 20 inch wheels...

Both look nice, but I've been in the same boat and know how much better the ride and throttle response feels with 17s over 20s....since then I haven't sacrificed drive-ability and stuck with 17s. So I vote 17s!
