Experience with Steeda 20'' Rims
#2
Pros: Look good, good quality, Steeda is good to deal with (always have met or exceeded my expectations when dealing with them direct).
Cons: Loss of RWHP (any 20" wheel will cause this but not a problem unless you are a HP junkie and look to squeeze every ounce out of your car. Curbs (also any 20" wheel) , rubbing curbs will scrape the rim because of the low profile.
All in all a nice wheel. Nicely crafted, not to flashy. Here are some pics of my friends.

Thanks for the feedback Gary.
I'll go with the 20'' Chrome Rims as I think they gonna fit better to my Sonic-Blue color.
I've once made some photo-shop pics with bling-blings and some satin silver rims. I think chrome just looks better on my stang:

They will look good in Chrome. The spokes are not boeefy so they won't be "over the top" if your not into that. I also saw a set of chromes on a Vista Blue Stang at the Steeda Stampeed. What will make them look even better is a front fascia or chin spoiler. On my friends car to me there is not enough beef on the front to go with this style rim (IMO). The Steeda fascia and street or race hood really bring them out. Not my style but believe me if you haven't seen the Steeda stuff in person, it looks 100 time better then pics but you got some stuff going on already.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Another Q:
What is the max. tire-size you can fit on 20''/9.5'' Steeda Rims?
I've heard max. could be 275 an min. 245. Is this correct?
I plan for the front: 255
For the rear: 275, ideally 285

No expert on this but it has to with the size of the wheel and it's rotaion against the gear rotation (larger wheel, longer rotaion). Same as when I used to race karts, When going from a 5" rim to a 6" rim it I had to change the rear gear as well (I think I went to a larger rear gear) to make up for the loss of RPM's needed for a paticular track. Take a look at Roush's new "Drag Pack" car, look at the wheels.

You will notice that anyone running there cars at the strips are usually not only using drag radials, but smaller wheels. 20" are for mainly look.
I am sure someone with a little more in depth knowledge will chime in.

Called a bit around and asked some guys of my club and they recommended the following:
255/35-R20 Front
275/35-R20 Rear
for the 9.5'' rims.
Any objections from your end?
Thanks, Ralph
