Looks good, I think 20's are the perfect size for ours car. An inch drop would be ideal, from this pic atleast. Would like to see more pics from different angles though. I don't think that angle captures the car well. Is that the oem dark grey or did you have it repainted?.... almost looks tealish or it might just be the lighting.

meh.
i know 20's aren't the best for them. and there isn't a chance of having a flawless ride dropping that an inch with those on.
nice try though.

IMO 19s is the biggest you should go on the CL w/o body modifications. it looks like a damn tonka/hotwheels car with wheels like that. the only way i think 20s looks alright is if its not some ghetto big heavy chrome wheel 
buttttt if you like its thats cool

thats good looking, its really nice for show, but pretty bad if your gonna try to mod and race and such. thats the biggest turn off for 20's. but as of now it looks good, even better with that inch drop

a drop would fix everything, but if your gonna rub, then that kills that idea. i have 20" tucking in the rear, If I didn't have a BBK in the front, I'd do 20" all around. But the drop is the key factor here, with any wheels for that matter. Nice job either way, Alot better than those Chrome blaster wheels that look like melted wax.

19's > 20's.
I'd sell them and buy something smaller that looks better. Good try though! It's a bitch finding nice (and different) wheels for our cars because of the offset.

the complete design of those rims is ghetto fabulous mangs look at it. it really to me looks like those wheels belong on a ford taurus or a caddy or something like that.

i mean no offense, those rims wouldnt be my 1st choice, but a nice 1'' drop would definately make it look a lot better

My honest opinion: rims are too big, too heavy, belong on an Escalade-type-of-vehicle, there is too much wheel gap, the car looks like a 4X4, and needs to be lowered at least another inch, with some bodywork (body kit or front/rear lips of some sort) in order to make it look "right".
But if you like it just the way it is, that's what counts - hope you enjoy it!
