I think its nuts. It will be the first Ive seen. I think you are better off with 19's if you want the big rim look. Mine are 18 and they seem big.

Dude, before you make a decision, consider the following:
- rubber will run you at LEAST $300 a tire retail...what happens in the event of a flat?
- even 225/30/20 rubber ($400 a tire retail) will throw your speedo off by about 5%
- you can't slam your car with rims like these, which is really the main accompanying mod to getting them.
- you'll have to likely CUT (not roll) fender if you have the slightest of drops...that or consider a $$$ widebody
- with so little sidewall, you WILL bend a rim, especially in the GTA
- think about how much slower your car will be!
That all said, I'm not trying to talk you out of it, just do consider that 20" rims will cost you more than just wheels and rubber....you're gonna be modding other stuff just to get it to fit, and it'll cost ya. I personally would LIKE to see an ES on 20's that AREN'T chrome (like a chrome-obsessed friend of mine, ew). And of course, sedans look better with big rims than coupes, IMO. Good luck with your choice man.

Rep Power: 0 Damn that was a great deal for those 19"holes. Yeah that is my car in the sig. I love the 18's. I know that BIG has 19"s and they look tight too. I would probably go that route instead of 20's because at least you wont have to modify your fenders and stuff. Your car looks nice by the way. Even your Absolutes look big. If you do end up going for the 20's be sure to post up pics. I would be interested to see how they look.

Rep Power: 368 Just go 19 like the rest of the pimps *ahem* You can get a set for 2g's with rubber. Funny how 1" of diameter = $3000 eh?
If you're serious about big bad rims, pm me and I can see what my links can do.
