Keep in mind that tire pressure is a major factor in handling.

RedG37SNC, I see you're in Charlotte, NC. Where specifically? I'd love to see your car.
Cheers,

I rock my 20" GT30's all year long and they're fine.
2 years and counting already....

Would love to get the GT30s. You got a good deal on them too (I saw in another thread)....they're selling for about $3600 shipped nowdays, which is twice what the vossens are going for. Ah the dilemna of which 20's to get....are the GT30s that good??

The GT30's are nice but there are SOOO many sets of them on the G. Vossens are a better fit for the G IMHO.

I like knowing that me and Finagle are the ONLY ones with Forza's and that our individual wheels are completely unique

I'm riding on my stock 19"s at the moment. Can't wait to put my Volks back on. Looks so naked without them.

Hi neighbor, SE side, in Indian Trail. Yes, handling, tire wear, mileage and safety. Did some research on tire pressure recommendations when I first plus sized. There's supposably a formula out there I never did find and just went with the following two recommendations and my butt. Generally for performance one recommendation was 10% of max tire pressure...45psi for me. A good starting point is 25% of max...37.5psi, I rounded up and enjoyed the ride quality here better.

Right on, I'm in Indian Land actually. Just past Ballantine, about 500 feet from the line.

Great thread. The only reason that I am not in the market is due to my 5 year tire/wheel coverage on the OEM setup - all road damage covered with $0 deductible. Unlike many here, I like the '11 sport rims ('10 sports are also sweet) and front fascia.
