I think it looks great.. If you are not draging.. who gives a ****... Ive been thinking about doing it... I think as long as there is a big lip its a great look.. Everyone else is in an older generation... If you want old school buy an old car... Im not saying go out and buy some lexanis or anythign to that extent but any racing rim would look great

When I go to the track I still have my 18s up front, but on my stock rims I have 1 set of nitto drag radials and 1 set of mick thomps to choose from. Even if someone wants to roll 20s and never race in their life, thats their business. I would rather see a sharpe fbody on 20s than see another dime a dozen fbody rolling on zr1s/zo6s or whatever other vette wheel that has 0 originality.

19s are fine as long as you got the right wheel, i think above 18s is where decent wheel design starts to fade away...and some of these old folks must not go to the ghetto too often, not many 20s in the ghetto, atleast not much in DC, there are some, but there are plenty more in the suburban surrounding area...

Both 19's... and we have never received anything but compliments on our wheels. They aren't made for performance, but I wasn't getting traction with the 17's either so it really wasn't a big deal to me. Just get another set of wheels for the track and you will be fine.

19x9.5 HP Racing HPR5's in Black here. I have received nothing but compliments on them and several PM's asking where I got them and how much. If you think they look good in pics you should see them in person. As for the ghetto comments. 
You need to stop watching TV if you think people in the ghetto can afford 20's. Well atleast afford to put them on a real car anyway. Im not talking about the $3k shitbox with 3k rims on it that is a ******* joke to me.

Wow, some real haters in here. 19's and 20's are fine as long as they're in the right wheel. "Spinners" or "Bling" are unnecessary on F-Bods IMO. Not everyone wants to run a ZR1, Z06, or TTII wheel

19"s and 20"s are sure fine... just remember to get a big furry pink scarf, and some 70s high heels. That way when you cruise, people will know sugar daddy pimp man is in town.

19" Rims and some 20" rims look AWESOME on our cars. One of these days those who are bashing them on this board will grow up and realize there's a broad world outside beyond their crib (or maybe they won't).
Since you were looking for the HPR5's in black....I'll post up a few....
