Default 18's or 20's...

Hey guys.

I have a silver 2001 LS and I want to put some black rims with a mach lip on.

You think I should go for 20s? or go for 18's then maybe lower the car an inch or so?

Thanks!

If you plan on lowering it i would go with the 18's but if you dont lower it go with the 20's. I think u would have some rubbing issues if you wentwith the 20's andlowering springs

the 20's do ride a little bit rougher but it is not bad by any means.

Could you send me a link to them from where you got them? I'd like to compare prices and such

Depends on which way you wanna go, most say to go with 18 as a max if you wanna keep performance.

I wanted to keep some so I went with the 18s, hopefully it'll get lowered eventually.

how much performance is lost? is it just because of the weight?

I'd do 20's if I could afford it.

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/5150_Wheels.cfm

This is the place i got them from they dont have the style have anymore but they have some ones that look just like it.

I got mine for 1150 or 1250 cant really remember which

they came with falken FK452 wheels and an extra set of lugnuts


To be honest with the performance i really cant tell the difference at all. the only thing is with my rims on i have better handeling because they are wider and a better tire than what is on my stock rims.

I would go with the 20's. Bigger is always better! Hopefully i will have some black 20's someday.
