Default 20's or 18's?

I'm thinking about upgrading from my 17 inch pp rims to something better. I want the shelby razor rims, but I cant decide if I should get them in 18's or 20's. Please post any pics of your cars(if you have razors) and what size they are thanx!!!

18x9 Razors... 18"s look more muscle car than 20"s IMO.

18's - you'll enjoy the extra meat (on the tires, guys [:'(])


sooooo if you do upgrade... whatcha gonna do with your old set?

DIBS if they're for sale and reasonably priced

I think both sizes look nice, but think about how much more weight you will be adding. That means you will burn more gas and probably a bit slower too unless you add more power. More power won't help the gas mileage, but hey, if ya got to look good might as well be faster too.

I'm a bigger fan of 18's, but everyone has their own opinion.

Depends 20's look way more aggressive when lowered and you switch to a different front bumper and paint side skirts and lowered. they look horrible stock v6 rollin 20's.

i have summer 20s, ride is extremely rough and except less power with the bigger rims, or so i seem to tell between that and my 17 inch winter bullitts I would recommend 18s with a deeper dish for the back. i plan to get rid of my 20s soon, they are forged steel though and have taken the potholes in NJ without a problem....extremely impressive seeing that i have to 17 bullitts bent already lol

I have 20" razors. The ride difference is hardly noticable at all.I can tell accelleraction is a tad slower, but I'll be getting a CAI and Tune eventually, so I'm not worried about it.My vote is for the 20's!!!
