I upgraded my beast with the 20 inch Sportec Monos and Yokohama 255/30/20.

Take a look:

I know it's a bit bold but i really like the blue/white-contrast. :rs6kiss:

What do you think?

Cheers, Greg

I also have the Sportecs in 20". I have to say, though, that while I love the look, the ride is jarring.

@CW Well I had the OEM 5-arm 19 inch before the Sportec so it's not a huge difference, however the car feels a bit more direct so it has an upside too!

The first impression of d riving around with the car is pretty surprising, people are looking like it's an exotic, a huge difference compared to the standard 19s.
Not that I need it at all, but it's funny to see the heads turning after the car.

Tire black is a good idea, have to get some!

How are you liking the ride, so far?

The roads are in such sorry shape here that I'm considering going back to the stock 18" wheels.

If it isn't a Cordoba, it's psuedo Corinthian!

@cornerswell: The ride is OK, a bit more direct - you actually feel the road much better than with the 19. I believe that the rim itself is made out of harder aluminium so this adds up with the size and results in an all over all more direct and a little bit stiffer ride. It ain't that bad with the standard DRC though I didn't had a long highway trip until now, just did the daily commute with roughly 15 miles highway.

@all the rest: Jeez you guys have some vivid fantasies :D
