The way the black blends in with your tires makes the wheels look that much bigger. When you create a interior visual circumference, it does make the wheels appear smaller, as DRANGED mentioned. It also amplifies the appearance of fender gaps. Not that you don't have room to spare on 20"s, but it will make a difference to the eye.

Frank - Don't listen to these morons. Half are either from the middle of nowhere or from Cali. They still listen to Samantha Fox, for crying out loud.
Do it!
