Re: Charger with dealer installed 20's.

Actually looks good.

Charger (along with the 300 & Magnum) are the only cars that don't look retarded with 20".

I thought the old b-body Impala SS, Caprice, Fleetwood, and Roadmasters looked good with 20's. Depending on the wheel, it can give you a real in the 'hood type of look though

I think that kind of style rim would look better on the 300C, the Charger would look better with something more "Thicker-Spoked" and bolder, less cuts.(my $.02)

Re: Charger with dealer installed 20's.

Am I the only person here who thinks that the current trend of big (ackward)chrome wheels are the worst thing to hit the streets since curb feelers and fuzzy dice?

Looks ridiculous, IMO.

Nope, you're not the only one. Wheels over 16" on a car look rediculous.

That's because they are frickin' thick in the midsection. Kinda like why 20s look normal on huge pickups. The size of the wheel relative to the body is key.

But anyway, the 20s on the Charger SRT-8 look WAY better than that (and they are thicker spokes - with only 5 spokes - kinda like 90rocz mentioned).

I personally think this white car on 18s looks much nicer.

Re: Charger with dealer installed 20's.

Yeah, I personally am getting tired of these ridiculous wheels myself. "Rollin' on dubs man." LOL I'd take a smoother ride with my 16/17s over that anyday.

16" Sedans, 17" Pony cars, Vette 18". Anything more is stupid. I saw an Avalanche the other day with like 25" or something crazy. Made me sick, totally ruined the look of the vehicle.

Re: Charger with dealer installed 20's.

Wifey's 1968 Mustang convertible looks fine . . .

. . . on 14" Magnum 500 wheels . . .

. . . and probably gets more attention than any bling-mobile with 22s.

Yeah, I agree. I think it's because those cars' bulbous, chunky bodies are some of the few that aren't over powered by such big wheels.

I thought that was a Colbalt until I saw the rear badge.
And I even know what the new impala looks like.

Re: Charger with dealer installed 20's.

well you need at least 17's on a car these days, in order to fit a decent high performance brakes.
