I have a RWD 300C on 20" custom wheels with some Toyo tires.
When I first bought the car I had the dealership throw the rims and tires in with the final price for the car, and had been driving it from Feb thru November of last year with the Dubs. Handling is a vast improvement compaired to the factory 18s, and the looks were an obvious improvement.
I put the factory rims and tires back on in November, and noticed a significant difference in the accelleration side, being the weight of the dubs are probably almost double that of the factory.
If you live where 'Winter conditions' are a factor, I highly advise keeping both sets of rims and tires (Factory and your new ones) so you can slap those ugly ass Chrysler wheels back on when the first grain of salt hits the concrete.
In my opinion, 20's are the way to go as they give you enough room to have plenty of nice rubber wrapped around em, making the ride much smoother... unless you're into driving on rubber bands, then go for the bigger and heavier 22's.
I'm in the process of selling my 20" rims (just decided today ironically enough), since I'm trading on my 05 300C for an AWD 06 300C. I also found out the bolt pattern is NOT the same on the RWD as it is on the AWD, so now I need some new fuk'n shoe's for the AWD...
p.s. the RWD version SUCKS in the snow. Just a lil tip from up in WI
End rant

I am concerned with weight and was hoping to find a larger (20 - 22" wheel) that was similiar to weight and performance to the stock ones. Love the look but I am hoping to sacrifice little in performance, weight, and ride quality.
Thanks for any and all feedback...I am trying to decide between the two sizes, and I don't want to make a mistake.
