C5Z's look ghetto with 20's. Just my opinion though.

For performance, the 19/20 combo isn't ideal, but they do look nice. I don't think they're too extreme by today's standards. My wife's Edge came from the factory with 22s.

FYRARMS has the only 19/20 combo I've seen so far (not just in this thread, but throughout the forum) that doesn't look bad to me. Even still, those tire sidewalls are awfully skinny... I guess I just prefer a little more meat on my bones!

Honestly, ride quality and daily manners are not any worse than with smaller diameter wheels. Obviously, they aren't the option you want for any type of racing! I have dedicated sets of wheels/tires for drag racing and road racing/autocrossing.

I think you're probably just tired of their look. Your car looks good to me. Here's my 18/19 combo.

All Corvettes above are living ghetto fabulous! Hey, are you guys going to put spinners on them too?

20's are too big. They belong on posters and hot wheels cars. Also, nothing like ruining the performance of a performance car. I think some of e wheels above look good, but would fit the car better if they were 19's.

There is nothing ghetto about a nice 19/20 wheel/tire setup.

All I see are cars with monstrous rear wheels and ultra skinny rubber band tires for light duty street cars. Waaaay too big. They look like Hot Wheels cars.

In the end, it doesn't matter. Not my car. I'm not a fan of the huge wheel craze in general. What looks good to one person is different to another though, so whatever works!

Fronts are 275-35/18 and the rears are 325-30/19s. And before you ask.....they don't rub at all, they're inside the wheel line, except for about 1/4" of the rounded side. No modifications to ducts, and lowered on stock bolts. Invos fit, perform, look, and were cheap. They aren't the best choice for maximum performance, but I never race.
