Good for you, not for me though. I'd rather see those on a 300C or something. This ain't hate, just a friendly critique.

I have friends that don't compliment me on getting lightweight, non-flashy, non-brand name rims for my integra (they wanted me to get Volks, or something with a shiny lip, rivets etc), but I've got different reasons for buying rims than they do.

For you, if you gotta be sittin on chrome 20s, so be it....Im sure those rims look just right in Miami.....

Yeah, I think a lot of that reason is that this site is filled with people into the import scene... and chrome 20s arn't really an import thing.

And it's not that we are "dissing" your wheels, we are giving our opinions. I mean, I feel that the real reason people have to post pics if for advice, not to impress people. Otherwise I would go out on the internet and find the coolest car I could, or take pics of cars on the street and post the pics telling everyone its mine.

Don't like chrome either.

But, hey, it's your car and if you're happy...

Nope I always wanted 20's the only reason I ever thought of 19's was cause everyone on this site and places I went to said 20's didnt fit in my car without doing alot of things to it..

My major problem with 20s is you can't match up the same diameter/circumfrance as stock rims and tires which throws off your speedometer/odometer.

No disrespect but those rims look cheesie. The response I read that you made a nice car look cheap, i coudn't agree more. I would be embarrassed driving that ride....I think a nice rim choice would be 18" OZ Racing Hydro. Has anyone seen these? What are your thoughts?

You know what fuck them most ppl in this community do not like luxury wheels. They love racing style wheels. So if you like them good thats all that matters, but I personally dont like the design, but I do like chrome wheels.

Hey guy, people who has TSX on 18 or 19 or 20" wheel out there and can't be criticism them because people has different style on cars, not same stereotype on our cars, etc. People like racing wheel or chrome wheel or stock wheel or lightweight. U guy can't blame them for some reasons on car with wheel. It is their people's decision.

Those who say his wheels don't look too good are also just expressing their opinions; it's their decision to express what they think, so what's wrong with doing that?

Besides, he voluntarily came in posting the question for what people here think. No one is bashing him just because it's 20" rims or chrome or whatever... people are just giving honest opinions and that's what make a forum worth while.

IMO if you like the rims that are on your car than that's really all that matters. There is always going to be someone that doesn't like what you do to your car. It doesn't matter if you keep the rims stock or put the most expensive wheel ever forged on your car, there will always be people that have their own opinion.


So to eveyone out there, do what works for you.

Peace!

Now that would look pretty nice in an 18 or maybe a 19" rim, but I still think a 20" would be too big.

i get where your coming from...down here in miami its go big or go home...personally those rims are kinda cheesy maybe should have saved up a little longer for the trento 5...but i've been thinking hard for about a year now on on getting 18s or 19s (i wouldnt go 20s cause 19s look big enough to me)...its just where we're from you get used to seeing those classic chevy impala's caprices and every truck and suv out there riding on 22s and bigger...it just makes 18s look like 10s...more power to you for doing what you like

Not really my style
That's what I was thinking. These wheels weigh 30 pounds/each which is 6 pounds heavier than stock. That's 6 extra pounds of unsprung weight on each corner. I hope your next mod is to upgrade the weak brakes this car already has so you can stop those monsters!

18 inch is the perfect size rim no matter what. Although 18 inch tires are expensive. 500 each!

Not my thing but it looks cool and it will look real good once its lowered. Be sure to check fender clearances as much as you can before you lower it. How wide are those rims? The tires do look pretty small.

Cheers,

runflats are abnormally expensive and a waste of money. the first thing I did w/ my wife's Mini Cooper S was to switch the tires (and wheels)
