I guess Im a troll also but big rims (20's) just dont look good IMO. The tires are too thin looking when your rims are that big. They look like bicycle wheels. "Some" 19's look good though. I still dont see why you would sacrifice performance for bling though.. Its a sports car not a luxury cruiser.

I'm glad a moderator finally stepped in and put their foot down. The Mod. just re-itterated everything some of us were saying, he was asking for pictures, not comments.
As far as the few comments i recieved about my car, thanks alot guys. Yeah, the color is Carbon Black (BMW color code) the wheels are CCW 505a's...and hey, imitation is the greatest form of....so i don't mind, plus do you really think i was the first to put those wheels on an F-Body?! Hell no!!!!

...I found a few more pictures floating around on my computer, so as requested....here are a few more pictures for you. (I do find it funny that this kid hasn't responded to any of the posts left. Probably got scared from all the flaming, which unfortunatly is a reason why alot of people no longer ask questions on here anymore.)
This one of some HP Racing wheels, 19's F&B
(look real nice i think)
These ones are CCW SP16a (I can't decide if they're 18's or 19's)
And a few more of the 505a's
These few here are some of the I Forged Series.
19's all around
These two are of the same wheel, but the fronts are 18's and the rears are 19's (These wheels are pretty expensive though, but look great!)

I have 18/10 and 18/10.5 IForged Aeros and wish I had gone with 19". As far as the stiff sidewalls killing performance, I still ran an 11.35 @130 as it sits in the pics. with the everyday 295/35/18 Kumhos. As for stance, you cant beat the stance of the TrilogyZ28 Camaro. I saw a few others in this thread that look killer also, nice rides guys!

Ive just bought some CCW 505a's off ebay 19X10 and i cant wait. And all those people who are hatin are just plain retarded. The new vettes come with large wheels and many F-Bods look good on 19's and a few 20's. VSGLS1 has the BEST lookin F-body Built hands down and he runs 19 up front and 20 out back.

These are Bonspeed Crokus 19's and 20's off of my dads vette that we tried on my SS for fun one day. and i dont care what people say about 19's and 20's on fbodies, these looked amazing! I think that it all depends on the wheel, if its a race looking wheel it can look good, but if its a wire or *bling* *bling* wheel then it looks horrible.
Try this wheel especially if you want a wheel that looks awesome that hardly any (if any at all) fbody owners have try Bonspeed!
