Those wheels are going to look like 17's. Don't do it.

I would love to go to 20's, but that would mean new tires. I bought tires just a few months ago. Should of thought about this earlier.

They look nice and classy, and contrary to the 20 inch and above crowd (that seems to be most of the youth of today) those will not look small and you will maintain a lot of the original ride quality.

Go for it!

I don't have anything against 20's, they would look nice too, I can deal with 2 less inches and saving $1000.

I agree. Wheels with no lips (stocks) compared to wheels with a lip always look larger in comparison imo. But worst case scenario is you dont like em and you could just put the stocks back on and sell those.

18s + black = fugly...

I'm over the black wheels fad. Plus as others have said it'll look like 17s with the lip.

Hey, you wanted opinions, right?

If I were to go to 20's, does the heavier weight affect the car that much? Does it need adjustments? I'm thinking if it's gonna affect multiple things, it may not be worth it but you guys make good points about the lip and look.

Well the biggest stock size is 19. 1" from the biggest OE size. I highly doubt you will even notice. If you really wanna keep the weight down, get a monoblock forged wheel.

How much do stock 18's weigh? I see that the 20's I would want are 25 pounds or 30 depending on the sites info.

I love the look of 20's no doubt, however I love the quick spin-up of my 23lb 18's
