Default 20 inches!

Hey guys!
Our car's in pieces right now...having a Power Enterprise twin turbo installed. Bring on the horses!!! Next step is wheels. Anyone have comments on 20 inch rims?
Have you seen any that aren't solid chunks o' chrome?
Know anyone who's tried em? Which ones?
Is it worth passing 19?

Thanks!

take a look at the avatar...all my friends with 19's tell me they wish they had the 20's...only thing, it will raise the car up about an inch, so if that bothers you, consider eibach's or other lowering springs

after looking at them both, I would never get 19's...i love my 20's but most people seem to like their 19's

im also looking into 20s.
from what i have seen, 19 and 20s tires cost about the same.
anyone know how long 19 and 20's tires last under normal driving condition?

I've seen a Z with non track brakes behind 20's and the rotors looked like quarters behind those massive wheels. If you get 20's you should upgrade your brakes because the stock brakes looks silly behind 20's. IMO

wutafobb - ride isn't too bad; here in miami, the roads are decent too so that helps... generally speaking you will feel most bumps/imperfections on the road...

daytona350zr - right you are - i hate looking at my stock calipers/rotors... working on a brake upgrade as we speak though...

get 20's they look better in my opinion. get 3-piece ones if your worried about weight. here is a pic of mine w/ maido gr5's 20" x 9" in the front and 20" x 10.5" in the rear
