Just wondering why are do people hate putting 20" on the F-body? To me I think they look good. 19" to 20"s are not a big difference at all!

cause those belong on SUV's & other plain cruisers. Most people with these cars want performance not bling bling. Plus 20's will slow u down.

20s are alot of weight so thats a big negative. Also, most 20s are bling-bling 20s and bling-bling wheels dont look right on these cars. Not what they are about.

On the other hand, something like some CCW, HRE, iForged, etc in a nice 19/20 combo looks pretty good (although I think an 18/19 setup is the best for these cars).

Super ghetto bling + F-Body = No sir!

those wheels would look ok if they were 17s or 18s. Anything larger than 18s looks pretty dumb IMHO.

I have nothing against 20's unless 1) They are too bling 2) They are skinny as hell, like some guy awhile back had 20's but he had 235's on them! If you are gonna run a narrow tire front only please.
