anything 5 star with a dish is a classic look. those look alot like the firehawk wheels. the wide lip is a bad choice for street use though as they bend easily. anything over 3.5" of lip is dangerous.

Do you all think 20's all the way around would be to much? Some of the 20's on BMW's and cars like that look great, however, something tells me it may be a little large on 3rdgens.

yeah youd have to slam it to fill the wheel gap. 18's are fairly easy to do and the 19's flyinlow has look good too.

if your all about looks then they will be fine. you'll have to keep them narrow though because of the lowering. count on loosing a good second off that time of yours as well.

try it out...

Not all about looks. When I take it to the track it will get the Pro Stars put back on it. I will proabably just end up going with 18's when I do it because skinny wheels/tires all around look like crap.

that'd be interesting and different on a thirdgen.. i love those deep dish wheels. however, to have those wheels, the car's gotta have big brakes behind them, or it'll totally kill the look.
