Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

I am going with 18"s. I think they look more retro. I am not a big fan of the plastric chrome clads, plus 18" tires are much cheaper. I am sure many of us will be going through lots of rear tires.

Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

I wanted the 18's too. Actually, I would have preferred 15" or 16" rims with more tire sidewall. I know, it won't corner as well, but that's the look I like. Don't even ask me about 22" or bigger rims.
I saw the standard 18" rims today; they look nice. They are not plastic-clad. I'm glad I got those.

Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

i think this comes down to personal preference. 18's are cheaper, and a softer ride. While the 20's give you much more aggressive handling, and a lower profile. Cant go wrong with either one in my opinion. Its all about taste at this point.

Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

I love my 18's, the rims look great and have a good finish. I drove my car in the rain and it handled excellent. I think the 20's look good but there not my style, especially being plastic.If I ever go to 20's I'll get torque thrust M's from American Racing wheel, in the anthracite/gray color.

Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

I prefer the look of the 20's, but I'm concerned about the rougher ride.

Re: 20 / Or 18 Inch Wheels

I can deal with the 20's but absolutly no bigger. Ride didn't seem bad on the SRT I test drove
