So I am fairly certain I want to avoid 24" Rims and I dont want to adjust the suspension.

Importance scale: Looks 70% Ride Quality 30%

I have been looking at 22" American Racing RT-S in Black (a la Rob Dyrdek).

I like them and was ready to purchase but a local shop offered me a steal on a set of 20" Momo K-1 for $150 EA!

He also said that ride quality is better with a 20" because he can fit 50 on. I justy wonder if I would be satisfied with 20's?

Also, is it a problem that the 20's are only 8.5".


Any opinions or pictures?

 

Personally I like the Momo's...do you know what kind of offset they have? Because if I am notmistaken...the lower the offset below +30 the farther the wheels will stick out of the fender wells (if that is a concern). I have 20 x 8.5 on my Tahoe and they almost stick out past the mud flaps with 285/50/20 tires.

 

22'S, i have 24's and now I'm use to the ride quality, just when i hit a bump thats when its very noticeable.

 

If 24's are out of the question then I would go with the 22's. I like the way the factory 20's fill up the fender but when you put a 20" chrome in place of the factory, for some reason it looks smaller (like a 18). I think this has to do with the style of wheel and the color. Its just weird............

 

If money for wheels and tires is a not an issue,go with the 22s.
24s are atad too bling.

 

I put on after market chrome 20's and love the way it looks. Whenever I see larger than 20's, it only looks good if the rear end is lowered; otherwise, looks like riding on skate wheels. If you put 22's on, budget for lowering. Another thing to remember, 22's will be heavier and will stick out further and IT WILL have a negative impact on gas mileage and regardless of whatever anyone else says, a thinner sidewall will have a negative impact on ride quality...maybe not a lot, but some. Where I live, the roads are very rough which is one reason I decided to stick with 20's. Also much cheaper as I stayed with my stock tires.

 

I have 22's and I am happy with the ride and look. I was the same as you, didn't want to sacrifice ride but wanted something a tad bigger than the stock 20's...22's are a good median in my opinion.
