I personally think 18/18 or 18/19 & lowered look best. 20s just look like your trying to hard.
I bet you're over 50?!?! Am I right

just turned 30, 18/19 on a genII still keeps the focus on the car and not the rims. I just think you start to take away from the body of the car when you start getting any larger than that. May be trying to hard is the wrong saying. They still look better than my stock 17s

If you haven't seen 20s front and rear on a Viper IN PERSON, you might want to try to find someone near you before you drop some coin. I saw 20's/20s in person and they looked HUGE.

I'll be going 19"/19" when I get my rims.

Why stop at 22"? - go for a set of 26"/28" DUB Spinners. http://http://superbuytires.com/DUB/...1=&p2=&finish=

Not too many track tires available, but it's for posing anyway, right?

Do you know which ones you are going to get?
I saw a 18/19(?) set up that looked awesome HRE 590s I think.

Not sure about Gen I or II but the 19 and 20 setup for Gen IIIs is perfect in my opinion, Especially when lowered. In fact the ride quality and handling is vastly improved since you remove a ton of weight from stock runflat setup.

Looks good Nader, I think the GenIIIs can handle a larger rim, maybe its the newer body
I like the 5 spoke, probably the best looking in my opinion on a GenIII.

If anyone is looking to get some Iforged for your car, Matt here is the man. I got my 19/20 Iforged combo from him for my 01 GTS and couldn't be happier. My buddy with a 96 GTS wasn't even considering aftermarket wheels for his car, until the weekend when we went to the dragstip and everyone was walking past his car to come check mine out

19's look great on gen I and gen II...untill you see one with 19/20's . Then they start to look a little small.
