Default 454 Motorsport 20" Bullitt Wheels? Opinions?

I've been searching for new wheels for the past 2 weeks and there's so many I like that it's really tough to pick one. I've never really liked 20" wheels since the cons outweigh the pros, but after seeing the 20" bullitts on the red stang with chrome wheels on Cruizinconcepts site, I'm really tempted to get them. They look bad azz on that stang.

Does anyone on this forum have these wheels?
How do you like them? How much do they weigh?
What size tires are you running with them?

Thanks!

No one has these on this forum? Cool! I'll be one of the few.

I've read that 20's will reduce acceleration time, gas mileage will suffer in the city but will most likely be the same or better on the highway; you'll feel every bump and dip in the road because of the smaller profile of 20" tires, steering will feel heavier, harder turn-in at speed, and your brakes will fade much faster with repeated stops.

Anyone feel free to add to this.

Those are nice but these weigh less and they will fit larger brakes if you have on getting larger brakes in the future.

I'd say get em. Other than increased road bumps and harder steering, how much difference can they make to the other points you made?

Huh? Are you talking about the 20" bullitts with rivets on wheelreplicas.com? They're the same brand as the 20" bullitts w/rivets on Cruizinconcepts so I'm not sure what you mean by weighing less.
