Thanks man, I am considering going VMR or Miro once these tires wear. But idk....These particular wheel have been discontinued, FOOSE nitrous F117 Gunmetal so I know im the only one rocking these. 30 series ride pretty tough on these TN roads though.

There's a fine line of 20's looking great and looking like garbage. You nailed it. Your car sits perfect on those wheels

Thanks for the love, it's rare to get fbody guys behind the 20s lol
Ride quality on the open road is extremely good. I will say the tire makes ALL the difference, but these nittos are just great. Super quiet, and they have hit some decent pot holes no issue.
Basically if the road is nice then so is the ride, it takes pretty patchy roads to make me uncomfortable or do under the speed limit, you do have to keep the low profile in mind at certain times like around potholes and curbs, but I understand that's just part of it. Love them.
Only reason I am considering 18s is for 1) weight savings, 2) tire cost 3) tire options/grip.

TAs are big enough cars to pull off 20s.... as long as they're not "hood" looking 20s lol. I have 19" VMRs on mine and love the look. There are times I even think they look a tad small, but I wont be going any bigger. Great looking car!

Yep... I was also expecting la-cockroacha.. But damn that looks good... Rolling on dubs...
Um, I bet the handling improved signifigaintly.. I know going to 18s on mine, without lowering the car, on stock shocks, impressed the heck out of me.
Looks good.

Apples to apples 17" wheels put up the best handling numbers for these cars (least amount of weight).
Don't confuse a tighter feel, or quicker turn in due to a smaller tire aspect ratio (stiffer sidewall) for better handling.
