^ This looks like a 255/30/20 which is 26.1" in diameter.

ok jason, calm down with the pics. haha. some of those looked awesome. CCWs, Iforged and high end brands alike, look great IMO. They are definately terrible for straight line traction, but I would imagine them handling very well. Look at the new Saleen Mustangs. 20s all around. Z06s, have 18s and 19s, LAmbos have either 19s or 20s out back. As long as its a nice, racy looking wheel, not some ghetto fabulous wheel. And Youve got a really wide tire on them (no less than a 305) then they look great.

This is one of my favorites.



My car could look just like this one. The 7 spoke rims look good as well.

I'm thinking hyper gunmetal. It works well for a black car. See below.

The good ones are typically the HRE, CCW or iForged which cost big bucks. I still think 20's is pushing it and 19's make more sense.

From all the data I can gather, you can go 19's and keep the stock diameter, but 20's will need to go larger. Say 26.5" or so in diameter.

I agree it really depends on the car, type of wheels, and color. My bf had a set of chome Z06'z rims on his 01 Z06, they were 19's front and 20's back. They looked pretty sweet. He bought them from a guy who had them on a white SS and they looked like ****. He didn't have the proper spacers on them and they were sticking out like 3 inches all the way around.

There is also a 7 spoke rim. I don't have a pic of it on a f-body, though.

Here is a 19" concept I'm working one using a picture from VenomWS7's car.



This is the direction I'm leaning for my car. It would be 19x10 all around. 275/30/19 front and 295/30 rear and possibly a small spacer in the rear to bring it out a little if it needs it.
