I love big rims. I plan to put 20" rims on my pre 2000 Bonneville when I get it. I also thought about putting 22" rims on my Buick, but those rims just look a tad bit off to me. Like I said I like big rims, but I think some 20" rims of the same kind would look a alot better.

After thinking about it its probably the rims and the height/width of the tires that make it look wrong. I think 20's of the same rim would be nice though. Gotta love big rims.

I like your previous wheels, and this is the main reason why:

Get a big brake kit, and I might reconsider my opinion :wink:

I will say that if I were you, I would have bought those wheels in 18s or 20s, but you texans and your big things... :lol:

When riding big rims there's really no difference in how smooth or comfortable the ride is if they are mounted and balanced correctly. The only difference is u really have to watch out for potholes and its not recommended that u drive at high speeds. Being that the owner is from houston like me, we have a whole different car culture that a lot of people don't really understand and that's how we do things down here but I think they look awesome.


PS to the owner of the car if u know where I can get some of those mercedes blinkers let me know

There's a difference in how harsh the ride is, because there is such a small sidewall, it doesn't cushion the ride like a taller sidewall does. Maybe you're so used to small sidewalls you're used to it, but I'd never do that to my car. JMHO
