Guess I prefer performance over looks.

It's all about how YOU feel when you drive the car.

Example-
1. Take two hot chicks and put them in front of your car and the one with the gunmetal 18's above.

2. Ask them which one looks better.

3. Case closed.

@ all of you guys caring what women, and anyone else for the matter, think of your car. Anyone that needs a car to get girls is lost to begin with. You guys need help.

Personally, I think 20's look too big, but if it looks good, then good for you! I'll stick with my 18's, but that's a personal choice. To me spending money to drop weight was worth it. If everyone did the same thing, the world would be boring, though!

Actually I will be working up a system soon... you wanna know why? To get rid of the Bose crap so I'll have a place to put my bottle. It will not be heavy and it will not be seen yet it will sound a better than the Bose.

Do you have a 20" broom too?

Have you road raced in those 20s yet or are they too pretty?

Oh yeah I forgot, that must explain why my car smells like buttered toast... its made of recycled toasters!

To the OP, do as you please but 20s are a bit much IMO. Many go 19s for a reason.
