yeap
i do admit i can feel more bumps however before the 20's the ride was very different from what i was used to... i came from a bmw 330ci with sport suspension, my tl on the highway seemed to sway a little and almost bounce around... now its stuck to the road and handles in turns a whole lot better.
my wife drove the car the other day and reported back she feels a whole lot better now with the new way the car rides... apparently she can tell the difference too.

I have to report they are really good for the price... grip the road real well even in wet weather and are as quiet as michelin pilot sports i was going to go with... the best thing about them is the price... only $153 per tire for 245/35/20

Pics remind me of gran turismo for some reason. How the curves in the pics are a buncha straight lines stacked on top of each other, lol. Nice car + rims. It's so shiny, haha.

Got it high enough to where the wheel was just not even quarter of an inch off the ground and that was more than enough room. I didnt use any other kind of stand because i didnt even have to take the wheel off.

Hideous looking. WAY too much like a low-rent guy trying to look like a baller (and failing miserably). 20" in this car will rub and grind all to crap. You probably can't drive over 10MPH with another person in the car. Since they are copies, they are bound to bend at the next speed bump and then you will have the shimmys and shakes at anything above 35MPH. Childish really. You know, they really should not let 12 year olds drive cars.

1) Have you been in this car with 20" on? I only rub with 4 grown adults, and that will change once I mod the A-Spec kit
2) How do you know these will bend?
3) Your 17” Voxx Scorzes are better because?
3 1/2) How about you go take your hostilities out on your dog..............

BUT first... let me ask you what a "low-rent" guy is? i live in a $650K house... not exactly low rent.
second... if you read the forums then you would realize that 20's if fitted correctly then they will not rub.
thirdly... 10mph is the top speed of your scooter from the scooter store?
fourth... copies and low quality?? they retail for $395 p/wheel and actually its not really like they are the fake rolex looking deals that people wear on their wrists to "look like a baller"
lastly... im not 12, im 25... they really dont let 12 year olds drive at least in america?

That just my opinion, some people might disagree. If you do 20's and you do it right thats awesome and it should look sweet.
