Default Help deciding wheels

I need some help deciding what wheels I should get for my car. First I cant decide if I should go with 18's or 20's. And second I cant decide if I should go black with a chrome lip or just go all chrome.
What do you guys think?





Thanks
Steven

Well, it's your car but I know that I would prefer 18" as you will have a nicer ride than the 20" will give you. I personally like the black with chrome lip if the car is dark colored or has black accents. I hate seeing the ricers around town with there black with chrome lip wheels on an all yellow or green or any other annoyingly overbright color that has no black on it whatsoever.

The bigger the wheel, the worse the ride. My '01 SS LE had 16", and rode great on Michelin Energy tires. This Intimidator SS has 17" from the facory, and has Michelin Pilots. Almost as good a ride, but the Energy tires were a better tire. The 18" Eagles have the BFG's, and there is a NOTICEABLE difference in ride, plus I have problems with balance, more than with the 17". I'm thinking of going to 20's, but I drive 100+miles a day, and I don't know if they will withstand the driving without getting bent. And the price of tires!!!

In Georgia you can drop it an inch, no problem. But not in Michigan! Not and drive it in the winter. These things sit low enough as it is.

28" and a lift kit.... all the way. lol




Id never go bigger than 19". I know some people have a rubbing issue on the back with weight with 20's, so I figure 19"s are big enough.
