IMO
16s - blah
17s - ehh
18s - perfect
19s - some look a little too big, most look good
20s - no thank you
20+ - go kill yourself

Here is WS6 with 19 CCW 505As (Strano Springs):


And my Firehawk with the same wheels (stock springs):


They may not be the best choice for the "mullet crew"...but I like them!

You got some sick whips 97RAMSST. Really love the formyhawk!! Personally 18's are the best size. I ran a set of 19's on my LT1 Z28 for a few days and hated the ride, put the 17's back on and it felt like it was riding on a cloud. But the 18's on my TA ride like the stockers. Regardless 19in CCWs look killer.

Yeah these cars have the stereotypical redneck appeal(unfortunately) even tho the late 4th gen's are FAR from it. Its you fawkers that throw on nothing but 15-16inch torque thrust' or some other design that is from the 60's that give it a bad name and overall reputation. Those 18's-19's are awsome guys.

Chaman-I want your wheels man!

Any of you with the mesh wheels take a straight side shot of the car? I want to see how it looks from the side with stock brakes.

You are the first one Ive heard with this complain. Maybe you were unlucky and got a bad one, maybe something went wrong with the installation?

I just got mine and the initial impression is that they feel very good and stable.

I am not sure what the offset is...its what ever CCW feels is "correct" for an F-Body as the rims are "custom" built for the car they are going on. I did do the BFH mod in the back of the orange car but didnt have to...I didnt nothing on the Firehawk except bolt them on.

BFH = BIG ******* HAMMER

Just do a search..its easier than trying to explain it again. You basicaly beat in the lower part of the inside fender.

The rear is just Strano springs with the stock isolators. The tires are big though...295/35/19s.
