Everyone to their own tastes, I suppose. For me, it's a NO-GO!

"Video: C4 Corvette On 20-Inch Rims. Right Or Wrong?"
I vote WRONG.
I would be willing go out on a limb and say the "unsprung weight" is off the charts with that wheel/tire combination.

I don't think that particular wheel would look good on any car. Another style of 20's might be OK.

^^^
they already ride stiff enough

at least the heavy wheels will slow that powerhouse down wear his brakes out quicker and decrease his mpg.

No like, the largest rims that look good on a c4 are 18's.

I agree. Go up more than an inch on ANY car and they just start to look odd.
"period correct" is more than a saying.
