I think ya'll are crazy. Go with the 18"s... What do you mean 18"s on a lowered car don't look great? It is all about the tire when you go with 18"s. I have 18x9 all the way around, I went with 24mm offset on rear and 40mm offset on front, along with bigger tires on the rear. I am also lowered using the FRPP V6 N Springs. I think it looks better than those 20"s :P

I lowered my car and put on 20's. I love the way it fills the wheel wells.

I really cant help you out with the questions regarding the change in performance and gas due to the fact that I added the turbos at the same time as changing the wheels

I think 20's are fine for cruzing but most guys that have 20's will tell you their performance (acceleration) suffered.. I'll stick to 18's.

Will my light stay on? Will it mess up the computer? Thinking I should just go with the outlaw take off's in the 17"s ten every thing should work right, right?
My light comes on for about 60 seconds then does not come on again
until I start her back up again. I dont have the message center, thank god.
You need new bands to mount your TPMS sensor cradles to the new rims.
