Welcome, I wouldn't go more than 18s. Pics of 20s look like the wheel is goin to eat the car.

I'd go for some chrome or polished IROC wheels, or TTIIs.

Yes...welcome to the boards! I would go with the 16" iroc wheels. They always look good on these cars.. Or I think they make them in a 17" version too.

I agree with Mark, no bigger than 18 if you want it to look good.
