I'd say 18's are the max size that actually look good... anything over that starts to look like ****.

There is enough fender gap so that 20s will fit. Thirdgens are not tall cars. Tall and or extremely wide cars look better with 20s. Most manufactors go 19 at the largest for wheels on cars.

I think 20's are only good on Escalade's. Although, I'm always up for a good pair of chrome wheels.

87GTA, where did you get that avatar? That is bad a$$!

Those chrome 20's really don't look THAT bad. I kinda like 'em, and I'm not even into that "bling bling" look.

IMO 20's would look good being thrown into a vat of molten metal to be re-forged into something else its rediculous... there's like soccer moms around here that drive these school bus suv's on like 22's if you been to south fl. you'd know what i mean... not even going to get into the 'R word' but there was this integra that put up a good fight to my buddys 94 z (actually it beat him )

They have some new hummer h2s around Baton Rouge with 20s or 22son them ....they look yucky ...I really like the new h2s to , but dont make em ugly with the big ghetto-fied funky rims :nono:

With the big @ss wheel well gaps we have, the 20s look pretty good to me. But I would rather spend the money on some nice 17s and eibach springs to lower it 1.5"
