I like the style of it, I haven't had any problems with these wheels whatsoever (I've had them since late '02) so I can't say anything bad about them. The only thing I'm really sick of though (now) is the chrome, I'm trying to find a way to get them painted/powdercoated or whatever. I'd get Gram Lights but I don't have a spare $4500 (that's going towards something else )

I think the 20" looks just a tad large on the stock body SC, but once you put that Vertex kit on it would look perfect. Too me, it seems 19" is perfect for the stock body but sometimes can look a ittle small with a body kit. I think the 20" on Manaray's car with the body kit looks perfect.

Just because wheels are "staggered" doesn't mean they will look good. Nor does it mean the offset is anywhere near where it should be ESPECIALLY for 20's.

Forget what we all say! If it is beautiful in your mind, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. I liked your old setup better, but hey that's just my opinion.
I'm getting the st-2s because I like them, and it will never matter what kind of rim it is cuz there will always be 50,000 other people with the same rim, most of the time hehe.
Good luck with the car!

Looks good
Looks good to me. But i guess i'm a little bias too since i have them in 19". I find it hard to call any wheel played out. There are lots of people with lots of different rims, some you see more than others. Come to think of it.... there are a lot of people on here with some volks/HP's/lowenharts that i have seen on many types of cars. I've never heard anyone say those were played out, nor do i think they are. The man is proud of his wheels, i say give him props. The only thing that matters is what the owner thinks about his car. If we all listened to the Do's and Don'ts on the forum, we'd have a lot of cars that look the same. I say everyone do what they want and if someone doesn't like it, tell them to kiss it.
Ok, that was my 2 cents for the day.

In order for 20's to look as perfect on an SC you'll need to throw that kit on. Right now the car looks like it's perched atop the rims monster-truck style. The kit will even things out a bit...and when you lower the car you may have rubbing issues, but you'd have to be the judge of that.
