Default 20" wheels
Hey has any of you (trans am) owners ever put 20 inch wheels on a trans am. If so can you please post your pics. Thinking of going with 20"s for my trans-am. Thanks.

As long as you realize you're going to have a noticable drop in HP... 20s can be done tastefully, but with the 40+ HP you lose because of the huge amount of added weight, it just doesn't seem worth it.

IMO 20's on an F-body take away from the well designed race car image. i wouldnt go with anything higher than 18's, but thats just me. I dont want to lose 30-40 hp just so that people can see my rims sparkle.

Your are correct. Beside's that were talking about Some kinda of Alloy wheel on a vette which is alot lighter. Not some big pimpin 71 caprice classic wheels. No with that in mine 20's can be pulled off on a F-body if that's your thing. But they need to some kind of CCW wheel or something in that nature.
VSGLS1's car looks good IMO.
