you should definitely get some 20's. Then I could relieve you of your 18's. I love those rims!!

I know it's photoshopped, but whenever I see a car with rims that big, I can't help but think, "clown car, clown car, clown car, clown car, clown car, clown car..."

Imagine the doors opening, and one clown after another hopping out, one with a big colorful umbrella, another wearing big floppy shoes, another with a bright orange fright wig...

Dude, your car is TIGHT without 20s.

Those wheels are bad-ass, IMHO chrome wheels on a silver car is ghetto.

Hey Closer, do they make those rims in 20's? Cause I like it A LOT. I'm currently looking into 20's or 19's.

wow nice rims

Closer, I've been thinking about those rims ever since I saw them. Are they considerably lighter b/c stock tl-s rims aren't THAT bad..

are the one's in the pic 18..or is this photoshop work?.. if that's about what 20's would look like..then i just might have to get 20's....NOT.
18 at most...not that they look bad or anything..but just anything over 18 is ridiculous.


well..still looking for mods to do on my car.. any helpful hints? def. CAI.. probably AEM. Also, does the bypass valve really work?..b/c I'm not going to risk cold air if it's not like backed by a warrantee on engine dammage, I'll just take RAM air then..Also, in what order would you do mods? sways, springs next? or do the comptech headers?

thnx

It's photoshopped 20's. I wanted 19's, but didn't want 3 piece wheels (bend, bank, and 5 week wait for dronnels) and didn't want to go too crazy looking. Unfortunately, they only make these guys max of 18".

This is the real pic.


Was it worth it??? OH YEAH. 18", just a couple lbs lighter than stock, but with Michelin Pilot Sports. BIG DIFFERENCE. The rims are fairly cheap for rims. $249 each. $255 per tire though (225/45).

It's the same difference as getting sway bars. (btw, it's lowered on comptechs).

The style is good, but they're just too big. I think 18" will look better.
