Who likes the way your car looks?!?! Ricers or hood rats?!?! That is a disgrace!! Take them things off! At least on this site you know that you are going to get an honest opinion on something! Well, you have it. That is absolutely hideous!! They belong on a Tahoe or an f-n escalade, not on an f-bod. That is just wrong.

Re: Another one on 20's

Well, i can't say I really like them, but their not bad.
I dislike any car that has wheels wider than it's tires, it just looks wrong. Also, too much fender gap, and it sits a little high. Lower it just a tad, and it might be good, but it kinda needs some kinda groundfx.
Not my style, but it's not my car either.

Re: Another one on 20's

You're talking to two different crowds. I know when I go out in the city, rollin around the southside You see a lot of people doing the whole.. "DEEEEEAAAMN that ish is tyte yo" to ekalaids on twinkay fow's(translation: Caddy on twenty four inch wheels, that spin and have fake wood grain on the spinners), etc. So im sure you have a lot of that around your area. Im sure if any of us put 20s on ANYTHING you'd get a lot of the "DEEEE.. DooD that zhiz is jDm tyte y0" when rollin around da hood lot. When you ask us, obvious fbody enthusiest, what were you expecting?

Anyway, return the wheels and put the money towards getting you closer to that supercharger you always wanted (right?)

Re: Another one on 20's

Wow I must live in a different world then most of you. Thanks for the comments, atleast I know what not use when I go to GM Carlisle and other F body meets around the country. I wouldnt consider where I live being the hood but I do live right in the middle of NYC. I guess non F body ethusiast only see a sporty red car with big shiny rims. I swear to you I get nothing but praise around here. I cant stop anywhere, guys come up to me at the gas station, red lights, restaurants all over just to praise me on my car. I'm a police officer and in NYC theres cops from all different nationalities. Now a Camaro isnt for everyone, 20 inch chrome wheels arent for everyone, but theres not one officer or supervisor in my unit who hasnt made a positive comment on my car. Trust me, we do nothing but roast each other all day, especialy on cars. When I drive my 87 Monte Carlo SS I'm called dukes of hazard or a hill billy. I have mixed tast when it comes to cars the only thing that stays the same is I prefer American cars especialy Chevy. If I could afford it I'd have a monster pick up with flames and a huge lift parked right next to an Escalade with 24's I love the diversersity

Re: Another one on 20's

I just looked again..the front dosent look bad, but that rear is just killin it. You need to have it widened and get at least a 295 back there...then lower it. May improve things a LOT

Re: Another one on 20's

Same thing happens to me, people hate my car online but love it in person because of the rims.

Re: Another one on 20's

Haha it looks like you are getting ready to offroad with ur Z! it looks so high off the ground! If you blocked out the body and just saw the stance of the sills, wheel wells, and rims, you would be like oh ok nice escalade, then u see the body and ur like wtf? Camaro? OH yeah plus dude your killin your braking performance, and in fact i wouldnt be surprised if you kill your rearend soon either.

Outsiders are not car guys like on this board, that's why you get compliments. They are easily impressed by big shiney things.

I love 20's on most any car as long as they are quality, good looking, good fitting rims.

I'd take the stock salad shooters over those. HONESTLY

Re: Another one on 20's

Nice try on looking different but I would say get the stockers back on there and save for some nice AFS 17's.

Re: Another one on 20's

I sincerely hate to say this sort of thing to someone who honestly believes that their car looks good with what they've done to it, but those rims look absolutely terrible. Not to mention, I can't imagine how crappy it must ride now. "Handling? What's that? Turn radius? I dunno, I left that at the shop."

Sorry man, that car looks rough with those ghetto rimz05 on it.
