why not do the same and stagger it. once you change the rims the ride will get rougher due to the tire size and lack of sidewall. so if you are a pimp-20, if you sort of want performance still-19 IMHO

whats an extra inch? other than a few bent rims.

dont see the glory of 20's. a few uneducated rich rappers threw them up on MTV, and you aint straight ballin yo without twankies.

if jayZ tossed a pair of 10" rims on his car for the next music video this thread would be 11" or 10"?

ares has some credebility..but i think 20's are ok....ACP has 20's and they are great..but supposedly canada has bas roads..and there is no way any 20 inch rim is surviving...get the 19's

i can understand being unhappy with 18's..but not 19s..get 19s and lower the car

I was considering the same thing, but I would have staggered them. Now, I am leaning toward 19's all the way.

Why stop at 20"? Get some 40" wheels off a huge buldozer. Then get them chromed. Round it out with a green fuzzy tophat and then you'll be a true pimp.

Maybe you could walk around with a cane too...

whats wrong with getting 20s? i think most ppl get 19s becuase they cant stand factory rims and want to LOOK bigger. of course some are getting light weight rays ans froged rims for handling improvement also.
i want 20s because the huge side wall of z allows me to put 20 and still doesnt look too big like SUVS, escecially with huge lip makes the rim looks smaller. As i said it will look pimp i simply meant it will look very good, i m not a drug dealer or gangster so me getting 20s doesnt mean i want to be bling bling. if i wanted to be a pimp then i would have bought a range or escalade.

in fact a lot ppl on the board went 20s and coudlnt be happier. so please next time just post u dont like 20s rather than some ignorant insults.

If you're going for looks alone, I'd say go with the 20s. They'll probably give you a harsher ride, but if you feel the looks offset the disadvantages, go for it. If you want more performance than anything, 18s are the way (Rays, HRE, BBS, etc). 19s is a good combo of the two. Hope this helps.
