![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I was told by a local shop that 20"s would fit no prob but im curious as to how they would look. My 8 is titanium grey and I was thinking about some black 20s with a chrome lip. Any suggestions opinions?

The salesman I am buying my 8 from is putting 20's on one of the 8's the dealership has in inventory and then driving it for a few weeks. I will get some pics when I go up there in a little while and post them on here.

if your not 1st your last
who cares about starting another thread about 20.
why does everyone swear that we have to put lightweight
wheels on.slowing the car down.who cares its his car.
i personally like staggered look dont care what size.
i will rock 16-21 staggered if i could and might one day.

Forums are about information sharing, to help people make informed decisions. If Potent is new here and hasn't heard about the negative consequences of bigger, heavier wheels - then he deserves to know before he makes his decision. HE might actually care - after all, it's HIS car.
As for "rocking" when you go staggered - as long as you think so! People who know about handling will snicker when they look at your car and be thinking "lame, what a poseur". But hey, as long as YOU think you rock, go for it! :D

I agree with staggered rims, but just be aware that you introduce quite a bit of understeer when you stagger your car. On a car that isn't as balanced as the 8, that actually helps improve handling quite a bit. But since the 8 is so well balanced the additional understeer will likely make the car handle worse. Just my 2c though.
