Since you have a 97-03, I say 18".

20s look better.
however, have you looked into the sizing on the wheels youre looking at? in any form, saleens are going to be a very big wheel for you to run correctly. you will probably need to finesse your fenders to fit them well.

id say 18" too
20s will wear on your tranny a bit

Well they are 18 by 9 and 20 by 9 so I thought the 20s would fit fine? O and the offset is 36 I believe on both if that helps

no ones got 20" saleens. and with the way those rims look. I would get 18s, they are already look bigger then they are..
20s would look pimp though.. haha. You lowerd?

^^^those are 18's?
in that case... i vote 18's lol. lower it to get rid of some wheel gap and you've got a really clean looking car

get 18's, those rims are damn heavy. also, dont get any offset under 36 on those unless you plan on doing some fender work.

Well those 18s look awesome but no I'm not lowered. It's on the list. If 20s are goin 2 create a problem then I can settle with 18s

not a baller unless you get 20"+, you should know that by now.

Don't forget the chrome badges...

The "load" that the transmission see's due to the weight difference between a stock 16" wheels weight and say an 18" or a 20" rim is negligible. It is much harder on a transmission doing burnouts especially when you have good traction. As our cars are reaching up to and well beyond 100K miles, and there is a lack of people who actually perform preventive maintenance on thier cars. A transmission problem may seem like it was caused by a change in wheel size and weight. And a mechanic at a transmission shop may conferm this, but the reality is that it wont make any difference. Change your fluid and filter regularly, and if your worried about the weight of a tire/rim combo then shell out the coin for Forged wheels whch are twice as strong and twice as light as a cast wheel. They are also about 1 1/2 times more in price. I agree with Bio248. 20" rims are the perfect combo of a large size rim and a good profile tire for our cars.

18s, almost anything bigger than that just looks bad to me
