    You still get that Truck look with 18's because there is enough room for some rubber, but with 20's it always has that goofy bling look to me that just doesn't look funtional or appropriate to me. Or course if you live in L.A. or Miami you're probably used to it and it would fit in fine.

    20's may also give you a rougher ride then you'd like and the tires will cost more, stuff like that. -X- went with 22's on his VX and they look great, you may want to check it out in his gallery. IMHO, go with a nice set of 18's with some realy good tires or skip straight to 22's and deal with the rougher ride.

    Hard to say for sure. Kinda depends on how much air is in them. You can choose your ride by picking a number between 28 and 44. They are definitely nice and comfy when soft. I totally love them though... I'm 100% happy with the Nittos. They look great and make me feel unstoppable because they seem like they can go over anything.
