Well I bought my trans am over 2-3 months ago, after my other one got wrecked, it came w/ these 20's i've been on and off about wether I like them or not - but I finnaly decided that I am going to keep them - just widen the rears, and drop the car, im going to get new shocks first thing since they are starting to squeak, just haven't decided on KYB AGX or Bilstein HD since I AM going to drop it as much as I can, hoping at least 1.5 inches, my upcoming mods are as follow...

Great looking car. Not a huge fan of those wheels, but to each their own.

It might be that I just like basic, non-flashy appearing.
Not much of an appearance guy myself. I like the car to be clean, but it doesn't need to stand out in a crowd.
Thanks for the compliment and welcome. :yup:

i like em. personally i would go with like 18's, but that doesnt look bad at all. i would definitely drive a car with those styled rims on it

Welcome to the site man.

Nice car...but not a fan of the wheels at all. They look like something that belongs on a lowrider...

I think some black chrome Z06 wheels would compliment your car nicely :yup:

dude, if u like the wheels, definitely keep them. one thing that bothers me is when people try to tell u that something doesnt look right on a car, just cuz it makes it look not stock yea, fbodies look awesome stock and dont need any appearance mods to look completely badass, but when someone does something like a body kit, new wheels, etc., i always see "thats for a ricer, not an fbody".... i dont think that its right to say that, cuz thats like telling someone not to wear certain clothing, or have long hair etc. if someone wants to visually set them apart from the norm. i dont see whats wrong with that (it wasnt completely this thread that caused me to say anything, so dont take it personal, i have jsut seen it alot on this site)

but on the other hand im not telling u to lie to him, so if u dont like them, be honest. i jsut kind of contradicted myself, but i think most people got the point
