20" wheels good or bad???
I really like jenkins-crews 20"/8.5 TSW Thruxtons.....he has them mounted on 255/35/20 tires. Would this be okay for the daily driver? I am also running the Tein S tech springs. Any opinions would be great, thx.
check them out!
any more pics of this car????

I'd say the 19" would be the perfect compromise if need GOOD looking wheels which are still going FAST. 20" is a bit too much, in addition the appearence difference between 19 and 20 isn't too big IMXO

I would think so. Lighter, lower rotational inertia. Depending on who you ask, a lower complaince side wall is a good or bad thing. 17's would have more compliance than an 18. Generally, I would go smaller. I would want 16's if they would fit. I don't think they do though....right?

the loss of performance is a real factor to consider when buying 19" or 20" wheels. it really boils down to what you do with your car. if you 1/4 mile, autocross, or drift - forget about the big wheels. if you just cruise and do the show scene - bigger wheels would be the way to go.

if your not 1st your last
makes plenty of sense in my world,but I have 2 cars for 2 different styles and daily driving.
but seriously then again the stock wheels on the rx8 is also not logical in that case.
but it boils down what we do and what we prefer with our cars which make it great.
