Not in person only in pictures. I personaly think it looks ridiculous and the ride has got to suck! Here is a picture that SoCal just posted of a HHR with 20s.

Yes - as you decrease the sidewall size (lower profile), the ride quality "firms up" - and the tire loses it's ability to dissipate heat generated from a) the road, and b) braking heat transmitted to the rim. This causes tires to get harder faster, and decreases their lifespan.

20's, Good or Bad.
The looks are a matter of opinion. I would rather see more rim than tire. I did sacrifice ride quality, but when we build something original (or custom) we sometimes sacrifice practicality (ask any custom builder). I personally don't like to pull up to a stop light, right next to a person driving the same exact car. Its a bit embarassing. I have 20's, and wouldn't have an HHR any other way! Next time I might try 22's!! I say: The more unique, the better!
