A question for those sittin on 20"

[Sacaledus]

I'm looking to get some new shoes for the Bonnie when my income tax comes in and I'm debating between some 18's or 20's. I mean I really like the look of our cars on dubs but I want to keep the racing/sport factor. Which has me leaning towards the 18's. Anyone want to try to convince me otherwise?

[crash93ssei]

Well, as far as the racing / sport factor goes, a Bonneville isn't a race car and really can't even pretend to be. Sport though, we can sort of do that. I honestly would stick with a set of 18s on anything '92 - '99. I have seen some with 20"s and they just seem way to big on that gen. Not to mention that you would constantly have to be dodging every single little pot hole you found.

I say stick with some nice 18"s

You know what I always wanted to do is 18's in the front 19's in the rear staggered. Even though our cars are not rear wheel drive I think it looks awesome. A lot of people do that on their BMW 740's. Right now I only have 18's on mine though.

20's FTW

and yes .. watch for pot holes.. its quite a bump other wise.

If you want to keep the racing/sport factor, why are you even considering 20's? That's destroy what handling you have. Ride quality will be harsh, and it will harm cornering.

You'd be spending as much on wheels/tires as the car is worth, not a bad idea if you plan on tracking an 80's 3 series, but driving around a bonneville in town, seems a little out of proportion.

true perhaps.. but man does it turn heads..

I honestly forgot all about your car. It is actually one of the few Bonneville's on 20"s that I really like.

I guess it depends a lot on the style / color of the rims.

Lets not forget about...

[GXP_vince]

I like the look B2 nice!

[crash93ssei]

20"s on a 2000 - 2005 is perfect, but remember, we are talking about '92 - '99 here

[SingsCountry1967]

Rawfusion had 20 inchers on his 95-99 White Bonne.... it was hot. I haven't seen him post in a couple of years so I don't have a picture of it.... dang it... I may have a picture somewhere in my photobucket archives... OH yea here's one...

Thanks, but that's not my car. That is looong4's car. I would love to have his wheels though.

I was just responding to this post... and I wanted an excuse to post that sexy car.

Agreed, If you going for looks 18's on 92-99 and 20's on 00+
Here is my old 94 with 18's.

[screwstonjay713]

Just got my 20" gitano blades a couple weeks ago and i love them. of course u have to watch how u drive but they do turn heads and thats wat i was going for

[Ragsdale]

Kevin did you also have that 94 lifted.. or is that just what the rims did? I like that look a lot however I don't like how high the car sits.

[Looong4]

No not lifted although I always thought that car sat high for some reason..?

[GoldenBullet]

what rims are those, kevin?

[Ragsdale]

No not lifted although I always thought that car sat high for some reason..?

Yeah the car looks as high as my Tahoe... lol
