Sometimes bigger is not always better!

I personally think the 20" wheels are just to big for the machine. Although this car is dressed out nicely:

Yup, 20's are a little too much for my taste as well. 19's would look great!

If car manufacturers would make the wheel wells smaller, we wouldn't have people trying to fit 26" rims on SUVs and 21s on sports cars.

I have to admit though, that car does look nice.

Those techart wheels are like bricks! Might as well throw an anchor out back!

agreed, Im fine with 20's as long as they are lighter than stock rims. which is pretty hard if I remember correctly for the 20" sizes.

Although I love my 19" Dymags, I have to admit I loved the look of my 20" TechArts . . .

the pictures of the 20" TechArts never do it for me - but your car looked absolutely stunning in person.
