Default 20's or 22's.. old school or new age

Hey fellas with 460's, we all know the never ending debate to either go 20's or 22's, and most 460 images out there on the net are with 22's,and yes, they do look badass, but for the few and unique / old school owners out there running with 20's. would you mind showing off/posting your rides, so I can be sure how a 20" set up sits / old school way. thx.

In for pics as well...

Back story: Had 22" wheels on mine... Bent the crap out of one wheel... Bought new 22" wheels (different style)... Sold them before I destroyed those as well and bought stock 19" LS wheels to go on the car... I still think of putting new wheels on it in either 20" or 21" to have more sidewall for better ride comfort...

This was when I had step lipped 20x8 iforged wheels. they had a high offset so I needed some small spacers to make them fit. first pic was with datasystem controller at L and with skinny tires. second pic was with a bit fatter tires I went with 245/40/20 second time around. rode well.

I have 20 inch wheels and tires on my ride. They're a staggered setup. I posted pics after I installed them 2 years ago. I'll see if I can find the link.

Thanks guys, just as i thought. That's the squat I'm looking for. Your rides look badass.
Question? What did ya'll use to lower height. I see P.S Bypass module, and Datasystem controllers. Are they all that? ( Plug & play ). No other mods needed? How about links.

IMO I think 21" is the perfect size. Because they are not too big and not too small they are just right. Before tires were a PITA to find however nowadays more company are producing 21" sizes so you have more options. I had a set on my 2009 and another set on my 2013.

Very clean and nice car AznRacer!!! Mine has the same look as yours. Love the black rims with chrome lips on a black car.

I think 21's are perfect.......but there's a smaller selection for wheels and even smaller selection for tires.

I like the way 22s look, but I enjoy the way 20's feel on the street,
