Is it me or do 20" wheels look small on our cars?
I want to get the Foose Legend in black wheels but the more I look at the 20s the more i think they look way too small...I'm alittle reluctant in buying them in 20s..thinking more about getting the 22s..what u think??

It's the wheel well gap. Lowering springs would also fix this issue. The downside of 22s is the added weight.

GM loves to give everyone an extra foot in the wheel well on their cars. Droping it makes sense. Bigger wheels will only kill performance. 18s for the track and keep the 20s for show!

I think that 2 and 3pc wheels look slightly small in 20" due to the way the wheel is constructed. The center of the wheel is actually about 19" with the lip comprising the additional inch. If you go with a 20" wheel design with spokes that extend all the way to the edge of the lip, like the stock wheels, it gives the illusion of being a larger wheel. I have monoblock 20" wheels and people always ask if they are 21" or 22"...

I have 22s and I think they fit the car perfectly. 20s look good but 22s just fill the wheel wells better. If and when I get a Hotchiks track pack I am getting some 19s for the track.

I think 22's are the only way to go. Once having them I would never go back to 20's.

I stayed with 20" but personally, I think they still look to large. COR BRAVA 20x9.5 front, 20x11.5 rear

My wheels are 20"s. They are 9" and 10.5" widths. My car is "slammed" (lowered 1"). I don't think they look too small.
