too big for my tastes. is it really dropped 3 inches? you mirko looks to be about as high off the ground as mine. . . . i hope you dont bend those, they are great looking wheels. i would have bought them, but a few inches smaller in diameter

Not that I would be stupid enough to run any type of motorsport on 20's, but now that you have mentioned it... I could still take your mom's minivan... on 20's .

Bigger wheels have a natural effect of lifting a car's ride height. To compensate for this, you usually have to lower the suspension to get the height back to where it used to be... Summing it all up, my car with 20's and a 3" drop will probably be the same height off the ground than yours at 2" drop with a set of 18's.
Well, thanks to all who appreciated my hard sought efforts to do something different and unique with my car, and for those who weren't immature enough to use envy and hate to post negative comments that do not even make sense. I am a very humble individual, and I consider myself very good at what I do when I do it.
The car does not give me bragging rights, it's just a representation of my taste for building a car the right way and good selection of upgrades and mods. I am very happy at the turnout of this upgrade. The car not only handles like a dream but rides incredibly smooth and for some reason it seems that the wheels have helped neutralize my GC's choppyness by a good 40%, something that is helping me make the decision of keeping them after all.
Once again thanks for your help and support!

VERY nice wheels X, came out better looking than I had imagined. How soon till you get some bigger breaks. I just can't imagine driving that car with those wheels and those TINY breaks... almost a scary thought of having to stop 20 inches of rotational mass with our weak SVT breaks.  Get yourself a wilwood or baer BIG brake kit asap, man! Don't want that sweet ride to end up an anchor at the bottom of that river behind you.  Oh, and the mirko looks GREAT! Love the plate.

Yes,yes I know.  I'm jsut asking how long do you think that will take to get it done? Thats all. Do you feel a significant loss in braking power? I do know you siad the wheels were actually fairly light considering their size. Just lookin out for my fellow silver-frost CSVT bro.
