    For all you large wheel haters... I think the wheels fill the wells just nicely and does not look retarded like some out there with stupid huge wheels.

    i have to agree with you, they look good, imho. :TU:
    a former 'large wheel hater', i accepted dubs when candy-apple LED 32" spinners came out.
    now 20" chrome looks modest & tasteful.
    anyway, nice look! :beers2:

    Thank you! I think any bigger it just gets plain stupid, but the tire height is close to factory and I am only into the tires and wheels for $600.

    Don't normally like "big wheels" but I must say those look good on that car.

    Thanks guys. Still trying to decide the color I want to paint it, probably will not happen until next spring at this point. Still trying to get the interior back together and repair the rust issues on the rear window channel and front floor pans before I get the funds for painting. Want to get some cruising in before the end of summer, paint or not.. haha.

    I gotta say - you called it. I don't like large wheels but your 'Riv looks real nice with those. Good job.

    those wheels complement the lines and curves of the car; not too direct sharp 'cuts' and not all 'roundish' on the spokes. Also they look to be satin finish, instead of the glaring chrome of most larger wheels. The hard part will be getting a color of paint that doesn't either overpower or give in to the wheels. Perhaps a gun-metal grey?

    As Gord sez: To each his own !! :TU:
    I'm gonna go against the grain here - while they may be pleasing to some, (...imho), at that size, they still overpower the car, regardless of what colour it is, or will be.
    Guess I'm probably a little too traditional in my wheel choices. :rolleyes:

    Im a "big wheel" hater but these look ok just becouse you dont have the car jacked up 3' off the ground to clear them. They dont look hidious as many Ive seen.

    I would have to say that since the car sits at normal height that this makes the 20" look right for the car,
