I'd vote for 19x10 over 20x10.

Your car will look jacked up on 20's, like you put a lift kit on the rear of a Trans Am.

i saw a thread somewhere with i think a camaro with some of those wheels that were the 20's in the rear and 18's or 19's in the front...it looked way out of proportion with that large of a wheel in the rear, not to mention i think F-body's look bad with staggered wheels.

I think 20's might be too big. I emailed them about a week ago asking if they could make the smoothie's in 19" (im guessing that's why you're saying 18's and 20's) and they quoted me $1100 a wheel!!!! I was like...uhhhh....forget it. I plan on going with 18's and 19's on my TA though whenever i sell my vette. Probably CCW 505's. Still not cheap but better than $3300 for wheels alone (trying to justify $2600 for wheels as being cheap ). Besides, I like the CCW's way better anyway.
