I really wish someone would come up with a 20" knockoff of this wheel. I'm ok with the 21" up front, but I would love to have 20 X 10.5 or 11 for the rears...

So you would want a rake with the front up slightly? If I would change my wheels, I would step up to 22 inch all around.

Not looking for rake. I'd be happy to change all 4 to 20" if there was a good knockoff. I'm mostly interested in better rear tire options while keeping the same wheel look. Wider rear tires and/or drag raidials. It's possible to match the same tire diameter while changing the wheel diameter, just have to choose the right profile. If you don't match diameter it may cause antilock brake issues (I don't remember the tolerance). Here are a couple of 20" rear tire profiles that are very close to the diameter of the current 21's.

Current 21" OEM rear tire:
275/35R21 = 28.6x10.8R21

Two 20" tire options:
275/40R20 = 28.7x10.8R20
315/35R20 = 28.7x12.4R20

What size rims and tires. I know they are 20's.
Did you go with a square set up?

Thanks, I like them 😀 I wanted something a little more unique. In keeping with the spring edition wheels.

I kept then staggered. 20x8.5 and 20x10. BFG sport comp 245/45/20 275/40/20. Did require a small spacer to clear the calipers.

Hahahahahha
I am now looking for one of these.

Not needing tires yet, but looking soon to change out wheels and tires. I drive more than most, so needing tires I can rotate most likely. Considering going with a Gunmetal gray that will match the striping wheel. Anyone know how wide I can go without having issues?

Am sure you have already found an answer. But just in case anyone is still reading...

Most any of the chrome cleaner/polishes at Wal-Mart AutoZone etc will clean that up for $5-$15. My aunt has a similar wheel on a different GM vehicle that she drops at my house to be detailed. Her wheels always look like yours & it is a mix of brake dust & what ever brand of tire shine she uses.

The Mothers brand of chrome spray on polish is one exception that does not work on this stuff. Or makes it more difficult to get a desirable result. Maybe their solid compound works better? The polish foam ball things they sell in the stores can work marginally ok. Leaves much to be desired, but to each their own.

The white diamond polish(or anything similar marked as safe for chrome wheels) Wal Mart sells will knock that stuff off with just a cloth pretty easily & would guess one bottle would last the life of the car. It is less than $15.

Just saw a Green Flash today for the first time and it was really nice looking. I do like the chrome but not the design of the wheel. Still a nice color.

CAI brand is the best by the dyno. Looks great also.

I'm running an ADM Intake with a race scoop. Unless you are hardcore racing I think the differences are pocket change, go for looks and quality.

Turbonator? Is that the little insert that goes inside your intake pipe/tube thats supposed to twist the air flow and give you more hp and better gas mileage? Lol...couldnt tell a difference if it is...i tried one years ago
