^^^not at all - 21s, 20s, 19s, whatever suits your fancy - just get the right offset for your drop...BTW you must have some damn babys-bottom smooth roads out there to enjoy those razor thin sidewalls - and sadly with the 20s your rotors look positively miniscule - perhaps you'd been better of getting a BBK with really big rotor and calipers. That's one thing the 17s/18s do, they make your rotors look almost too big for the wheels...not the other way around.

Update on these? I need to replace mine when I get back from Iraq. I put a bandaid on them to get the car back to MI before I deployed (turned the fronts with a set of cheap pads) The thickness is 1mm below what they should be, I took that chance but the car was going to sit for a year and only had a few miles put on it after I turned the rotors.

I got a set more then a year ago, talked to the guys and got an awesome deal on a full set w/ Hawk HPS's and have logged about 40k or so on them and they barely show any wear and with the coatings they don't rust up on you. I will reiterate as others have mentioned they do help with stopping power. These combined with the Hawk HPS pads can easily lock the wheels up even with the ABS.

a simple counter-measure to use is to stick a flathead screwdriver into the vents to see which way the vanes are facing. never trust the labelling on the box for any generic rotor company.
and i do agree to also stay with the oem rotors for track/autox use.
