Hi everyone....I have been on the board for a little while now but dont posts very much..I have a 97 3.2TL with Type S wheels right now and I have a friend thats selling a set of 20s TSWs with 225-30s for a very good deal and want some opinions ...I have searched and I know 20s are a bit big but I think it may look pretty good..heres a pic of the wheels...lemme what u think...thanks




BTW it does come with caps....its looks like this with caps

 

as far as the wheels go, i think they look just fine. however, the size is something i would be concerned about. a 'bit' big may be an understatement. i haven't had my car for that long either, but i have yet to see anything with over 18 inch. even then,with passengers, it will rub when going over bigger bumps. if anything the 20s would rub even more. and i'm not sure what your turning radius would be, but they would for sure rub on tight turns. but if you can deal with it and they look good to you when installed, i say go for it. specially if you think the price is right and if your friend is a good guy about it.

 

Nice..... whats d offset?? how $$$?? pm me thx...

 

i think he is looking to buy them for himself......not sell them on the board. but i guess i could have misread

 

yea..hes actually selling them and I am thinking about buying them...just not sure about the size yet...hes selling them to me for 1350..I may try them on and see..

 

whats d offset.... at 20's its can be by 7.5 or 8 or 8.5 .... thats critical n also d offset....hope is at least +48 or +52 or greater.....but if u dont want them i'll buy them from u .....let me no...thx

 

its 20x8.5 with BFG 225-30s...I will take a couple days to think about it and see and if I dont take them I can hook you up...

 

They shouldn't rub anymore than 18's with 40 series. It's not the size of the rim that makes them rub, it's the offset compbined with the OVERALL diameter of the tires. If the offset is right, they should fit. they are SWEET looking rims. My biggest problem with 20's would be damage to teh rim. Even my 18's with 40 series rubber have already been dented with the shitty ass roads in the T-Dot. 30 series rubber would protect even lesss.....But again they would look SICK!!

 

20"x8.5........it must be +52 or above to fit..... a 2nd gen tl because of d lack of wheel well space!!!......but for d first gen, i m not exactly sure.... what i m sure of it'll look pretty damn good hope it fits ur car........but if not let me no...heheh( it probly doesnt fit my car.... ) find out d offset would save u from alot of headaches down d road......u dont want ne thing that rubs n bottoms out every time u got ppl in it....good luck!!! keep us posted!!

 

Victoriatire.com - great packages for cheaper!!!

Hey where can you buy ronjons?

 

I think they look pretty cool... cool rims, but if you can find them cheaper somewhere else... then go for the cheapest you can get them... or tell your friend that if he'd give you the price you found them for...

About the ronjon wheels... the picture of the month at the top of the site almost always has the site on it... with the signatur RJ

<<<~~~ Right there...

 

tk168....... wat happen to d wheels!!! u put them on....ne pics?????

 

Good luck with the 8.5 bro. Im not sure you can fit any size 8.5 under there without rolling your fenders. If you can fit 8.5s let me know. If 8.5 +45s fit id like to know.

 

I bought the wheels and I will try to post some pics this weekend when I have time to change the wheels..

by the way its +42 offset..
I did measure the wheels to my Type S wheels and they are about 1/2inch or less then the Type S wheels....

 

hi .... good to hear from u again.....42offset..mmmmm...might be a little tight...BUT SURE DAMN GOOD LOOKIN THOU,..... .... good luck ...keep us posted!!! pics of rims now...n tsw after would be a good comparason.... ..good luck....

 

I will try to take some pics this weekend..

 

I think the Type S wheels look sharp. But these are good too.

 

Type S wheels do look pretty good...but there's lots more out there in the aftermarket besied OEM rims.

 

type s wheels is good .....but dude....these r 20" we r talkin about.....thats other level........17....20 .....mmmmm.....20'S OFFCORS!!!!!!cant wait to c pics.....

 

Ok guys...I was able to get some pics they are not the best cause it was raining outside....the pics are not really good either but at least you will get the idea. Theres no rubbing whatsoever...I am very surprised..

TYPE S wheels



20 inch TSWs




Lemme know what you think... thanks

 

...looks niiiiiiice....ne problems with d rims??? is it stickin out alot??pics up close????...........ther seems to be a big space in d wheel well.....should lower or tuck it in....ehhehehe.....my ...i give it a ......thx n enjoy ur new rims.......

 

Definately but yeah, you should at least put the Eibachs on it to kill SOME of that wheel well visibility. Do you have the center caps? That would help too...., but all in all look spretty sick!!

 

The wheels do look good. But you need to kill that wheel well. They look freakin gigantic, but it doesnt look horrible. I hope everyting works out for you.

 

if he lowers, it will rub, looks liek it from here...

 

I don't like the new wheels personally. They look nice by themselves, I like the style, but I don't think that they fit your car too well. The seem too big without being lowered, sort of like a half finished project. They just seem out of proportion, like how short the front end is, but how huge the wheel is. Congrats on getting 20's on there though.

 

Just dont fit the car. Props to you though for puttin 20's on. How does it ride?

 

Thanks for all the comments...I am planning on lowering it but not sure if I want to keep the car or not..want a Type S instead...the ride isnt bad at all..you do feel the road a bit more than the stock setup...the wheels are definitely big..lol
thanks

 

ne new pics......n did u lower ur car som mor yet......let us no!!!!

would lov to c a close up shot of d wheels........thx.
