]no shizit,,, why is there this big stigmitism against 20 inch,,???? not everyone is a freakin' speed demon,,, if the wheel is appropriate, and it looks proper,,, thats all that matters. Some of us like to cruise and retain our lisences rather than lose them with 18" wheels.

I'm thinking about going with 20's over 19's but one of my main concerns is damaging the wheels being that I live in MI. and the roads aren't in the best condition. I really don't think theres any way to avoid denting or cracking a rim with such a low profile tire. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone having issues from any of the states that actually have all four seasons??

19's & 20's pretty much use the same profile tires 30-35 so I think you'll get the same amount of risk when it comes to damage. The difference in 19's over 20's will be (and you'll hear this over & over again) is weight. If you really want to run 20's, I'd suggest just buying beater wheels that you can swap out during Fall & Winter. That way, you help avoid damaging your wheels during bad weather.

Hmm? Sounds like a model under their ELT Series. I'll check it out.

AF 118?



It's either this or the AF 112 which essentially just doesn't have the line design through the mid-section of the spokes.

Well the others are the AF 114 & the 127 but I don't think those would look right on the Z.

Good point on the profile...Didn't even think about that. Weight really isn't an issue to me and I already have snow tires on the stock wheels so you helped me with my decision. Thanks
