Call me old fashion...but the 18's look great. The 20's are ummm...not.

Not sure of a polite way to put it, but the 20's on all but a few select cars look laughable.

+1 on 18s. 20s will kill your gas mileage and take you a big step back in performance/acceleration unless you are running a blower.

Sh!t thats right.. 20's will probably kill my gas mileage. Didn't think about that so looks like i'll be leaning towards 18's =\

when i read comments like these i lean towards the 18s also but once i see pictures of 20's (on lowered stangs only) they pull me back in... i think they look awesome.. i plan on getting 20's and new gears to make up for some of the lost acceleration

20's look okay on cars that have body kits or have been lowered

It all depends on the rim and the mods, I prefer 18"s, I think they look great.

18's. If you go with 20's to me it looks fake... I like how the 18's look... They look like they came with the car stock but are still sexxxy

Go with 20's if you want to slow down the car.

20s are better for the body kit cars because they have large wheel wells. 18s if no body kit. Trust me 20s look sweet on body kit stangs.
