My Limited with 20" rims arrived at the dealer today. The rims look totally different than on Chrysler's build website. Rather than having bright surfaces and dark interior they look more like a two tone gray. I am so disssatified with how the car looks, I'm not accepting delivery. Did Chrysler switch to a different rim and not update their webpage?

Ha. The 20s look great goofy in person and in marketing photos. It's a minivan, people!
It does come down to taste though. People here have put even larger rims on, so everyone's idea of what looks good is a little different.

If I had the choice, I would not have paid a premium for the 20" wheels, but nearly every Limited in inventory around here had them. So there wasn't much of a choice. Now that we have them, they look nice, and they hide brake dust well. But like you said, it's a minivan and you're not going to impress anyone with your wheels.
I agree. The amount of sunlight hitting the wheel and the angle that you are looking at the wheels from, also make a difference. They have a semi-polished satin finish on the forward facing surface and a darker gray color painted on the the inner sections... In good light and looking at the wheels straight-on, they look brighter, because the semi-polished satin face reflects better. But, as soon as you look at them from an angle, they look much darker, because the darker gray on the inner sections of the "Y" spokes starts to show more...
Personally, I love the wheels, but would prefer them to be entirely polished (without the gray) or a PVD chrome finish.

That's why there are so many choices out there, both factory and aftermarket. "The look" that one person likes, another person hates lol. It's completely subjective and I also think that the exterior color of the vehicle might play a roll in which wheel finish I would choose...
I put 20s on our hybrid. I liked the stock 20s from the limited, but they were very expensive. I found a set off of a Jeep Grand Cherokee with similar specs to the Limited wheel and think they look nice. I will now use the stock 18s as winter wheels. As for range, I am sure on the highway it will reduce it due to increased drag, but most of my driving is around town and I don't think the added weight will reduce it too much. I wish this car showed average energy consumption when on electric (Watt hours/mile or something) vs. just MPG. It would be much easier to see changes in efficiency.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Limited 20" Chrome Wheels by DRZ911, on FlickrEven though I like and appreciate "The Look" of some of the blacked-out Pacificas that I've seen, I'm more old school and still prefer the sharp contrast that the bright or polished chrome creates against the black crystal pearl coat exterior paint on my Pacifica. I had the 20" factory Chrysler wheels PVD chrome finished for a more polished look from every angle.

I think it looks good! It actually looks very familiar to the Kia Sedona wheels that they are shipping with these days.

What year is the Jeep you got them from? Wondering what vehicles I could choose 20“ wheels from that will fit my 2017 limited
I went right to the "sider monkey" srt replica wheels. Actual SRT wheels do not fit. The ones I got are 8.5" wide. It is a minivan, and though no one is looking at the wheels, they inherently affect the look of the car. Not about "modding" a minivan, but the vehicle has a low wide look, with large arches. It certainly presents as a higher end vehicle when the wheels complement the lines.

Hybrids only come with either 17" or 18" (max) Wheels per Chrysler. Must be a reason they don't offer 20" Wheels on Hybrids or else why wouldn't Chrysler Pacifica offer new builds with 20" wheel option on Pacifica Hybrids like they do on new Pacifica (Gas) trims?

I'm putting 20" x 7.5" Polished Aluminum Wheels w/ Gray Painted Pkts (Standard 2022 Pacifica Pinnacle AWD Wheels) on my new 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L AWD Fathom Blue (Center & Top left pictures w/ Bright Body Side Moldings). Expensive yes, ($586.80 each totaling $2347.20 (4) 20" Wheels on sale at Mopar.com eStore normally $815.00 each) plus another $1444.80 or $361.20 each for the 245/50R20 OEM Pirelli PZERO All-Season Self-Sealing Tires from Tirerack.com, $438 each at Mopar.com eStore) but they look so much better then the standard 18" x 7.5" wheels that came w/ my 2022 Pacifica (bottom left picture). Total cost $3878 but worth it to me.
