Ok I just read the whole thread, and now my whole head hurts. A lot of close minded white males in here, thats for sure.

 

A 20" tire for a performance car, even if its a kumho or a cooper (read: cheap), is going to be at least $150, and a BFG, michelin, or pirelli will be easily $300. Look on tirerack.

Here's some of the oh so ghetto 20" rims.. on a V6 no less!

(looks pretty wicked cool too me.. )

 

Das aight... You can have y0 twennies and I'll juss bust your *** w/ my lowly LT1 from a roll or a dig. In front of y0 gurl. What now!

 

i dont see why they couldnt be an option for the v6. especially if it is something extra you can ad to your package like a 1le upgrade. good luck spinnin those 20's though.

I like my 16" rims - maybe 17/18 wouldn't be TOO bad, but yuck on the 20"s....

If they over all tire hight is anything like a Mustang or 300 then 16" would look very dumb. Even 17" don't look that good on Chargers and 300's.

Another example is how much better the Mustang GT500 KR looks compared to the regular GT500

KR w/ 20"s


GT500 18"s

 

why not, it's just more money for GM.

 

It looks like ***. It's an oversized ghetto hotwheels car. As stated.. it's better to "look good" than to feel good. Unless you use something like the MT drag radials on those oversized pieces of **** and like to replace those drag radials every few months (assuming it would be a daily driver) you're going to get your *** cracked by cars with significantly less power... of course most all races anymore r frums a rollz, y0!
And Tire Rack or NTB or any other tire joint.

 

Tru dat!

 

Wow. Sounds like someone has been bench racing too long. Sure, in theory, large wheels will slow you down. But, ONLY if they weigh more. Those (forged) 20s on the KRs might weight the same (or even less) as the 18s on the GT500. If so, there would be almost no noticeable performance difference.

Given equal weights, there is far more performance difference in the tire you put on the rim, than the rim itself.

Just for some more fodder for your bench racing (even though it is on a a Cayenne S... link):

Of course, if you are talking about the cast iron chromed out rapper rims, then that might be a different story. But, anyone driving with those doesn't care about getting "beat" anyway -- so who cares?

And, just for the record, tiny, undersized wheels can look like "***" (like a lifted truck) just like overly large wheels can -- it is all about the tire on the rim and the stance of the car.

Some 20s can look great on a Mustang (well, for those not clinging to "the good old days" of tiny brakes and heavy cast rims), yet others can look awful (especially without lowering).
