the originals looked so much better... you should really get some nice 18s on it if you cant afford 20s. go to tirerack.com and fit on some nice rims... the car looks so phat with rims on it. that sucks though that they didnt work out!

I don't want bigger rims because of noisier high performance tires, worse ride quality and much higher unsprung weight. BTW, I weighed the stock 16" chromes and they were 16 pounds

For some reason they look so good in the box, but the chromes look better in the pics, maybe its just the angle.

do the size of tires and rims really effect the ride of any car? Ive always heard mixed answers for this question.

The thinner the tire, the stiffer the sidewall, the harsher your ride will be.

I had understood it to be a combo:
Larger rim = less spring travel
shorter sidewall = less shock absorbtion
And since going with a larger rim means less well room, a shorter sidewall is unadvoidable.
Also a wider tire has more contact with the road surface therefore a rougher ride.
At least this is what happened to me last time I went with larger than stock rims.
