I've never had anything except 20's. Saleen come stock with 'em obviously. But i really don't see me as having "bad" performance. Could be because of my suspension upgrades that Saleen themselves have done, but still rides nicely.

I have road raced, raced at the strip and driven 20's on street rods. 20" wheels will degrade performance, period. 20" wheels will degrade ride quality. Period. No ifs, ands or buts. Shelby and others make 20" wheels because of the "want" by purchasers, and most people are stupid. Show me a Shelby that is a real race car with 20"s and low performance tires. Show me any sanctioned race car that has 20" wheels. The same make of tire on a 18" wheels will out perform the same tire on a 20" wheel, and on a 16" wheel it will out perform the 18's.
20"s look cool, but are not performance wheels by any stretch of the imagination. To each his or her own. If you like 20's get em. If you are looking for performance over style, don't. It's as simple as that.

well finally decided on wheels & tires, Nuke...sorry did not mean to go gangster on you LOL, but I want black chrome godspeed wheels, staggered, and if you want 18" it same story when you call to get, out of stock, put your nearly 2 grand up front, might be in in 2 months, so went with 295/30/20 in the rear and 255/35/20 front, was actually wanting 18's for summer vacation but not waiting around, they'll be fine, adjust the computer w/ my handheld going from 19's to 20's, so not like I'm jumping from a 17 or 18 to a 20...mount,balanced, shipped, tax, all mounting stuff, lifetime road hazard, tpms's install, 1979.00 black chrome selected...and I'm not going to worry about 3/4 " sidewall less, I am a tire rotater, but going staggered stops that, but our tire store manager that is in our club says rotating doesn't make much diff. and I can attest to that cuz took care to ford since had service points built up w/ my own oil, they check tread wear, and it's been 8,000 since rotated, and been to drag strip too and tread was same?
