Any larger and the section of the tire is to small to drive on a city street. I live in Chicago and this time of year the buckled pavement and potholes can turn a nice aluminum wheel into a paperweight. I know, most of us would never drive our Camaro this time of year.
As far as performance wheels go, less mass means more fast. Look at the Corvette, nothing bigger than 19".

I agree with these posts (okay - with most of the other ones too, but I couldn't quote them all) and think it's relative to the size of the wheel opening and the proportion of the opening to the car. I can remember thinking how aweful a 20-inch wheel would look on a 'Vette and now, especially the style on the ZR1, I think it looks great. I don't think I'll go more than 20s on mine (I'm planning on staggering C6 ZR1s anyways).
But hey, to each his own and it's not like it's my money.
