The biggest they make for that style is 20 in. I don't know if they make anything wider than 7.5, but that's wide enough for a sedan. Rumble, you're right about that center cap. I KNEW I should have gotten those![img]/w3timages/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Maybe I should have bought these wheels instead!
I gotta remember some of you guys have coupes! Yeah, they probably wouldn't work too well on the 2 door since you can't go very wide in the rear, but they'd be sweet on a sedan! I have no idea how much they weigh. Isn't it ironic, guy's can be concerned about the additional 2 to 12lbs. total weight you might get from going to bigger/aftermarket wheels, but they are walking around with a beer gut that makes them look 12 months pregnant?! Crazy! (Of course, I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but if you feel guilty.....[img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Maybe I should have bought these wheels instead!
I think that's because the torque (twisting force) that the engine can put to the wheels is greatly reduced when, at the end of the drivetrain, it has to spin heavy wheels instead of lighter ones. I could be wrong, but it seems like I've heard this before...

<hr></blockquote>between that and unsprung weight that affects the suspension performance, you're exactly right...Unsprung weight known as a "gut" can't be good either![img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
