Re: Big wheels and the hate
Does this qualify as a supercar?

Re: Big wheels and the hate
To the OP I've been riding 20's on my camaro since they first came out back in 2000 and there is a huge difference in riding a 20 inch wheel and a 17 as far as traction, handling, and ride quality. I've had different sets of 20's throughout the years some cheap some expensive and but the outcome is still the same, for performance a smaller wheel is better on a 4th gen f body, the supercars that you mention are engineered to be able to handle on a bigger rim which is the total opposite for our cars. Me personally I ride 20's because I like how they look on MY car they may not look good on everybodys car but thats a matter of opinion. But if you're serious about racing a smaller rim with more tire is the way to go, and if you're beating people on 20's out there in Michigan you're gonna kill em with 17's and slicks. Quick story: the day I got my first 20's I had to drive 100 miles to get em. I had my friend follow me in a 94 z28 with 3:73 gears and cai with 16in wheels, I was in my stock 96 ss with zr1's. Needless to say we raced the entire way there, he would get me from a dig cause of the gears but everything after that was all me and on the freeway he didnt stand a chance. After we made it there I put the 20's on he put on my 17's and put his 16's in the car with him AND he had a passenger. On the way back you would've thought I had a v6 the way he was pullin on me and on top of that I couldn't go over 120mph. I wasn't too happy with my purchase at that moment but in my head I had to justify the loss by sayin "at least I looked good losin" well to some people you never look good losin and that's why we get flamed when people see 20's on an f body because in a normal situation it doesn't help performance on a performance car.
