Decision, Decisions, Decisions....

Got till Friday to make my decision. Since I'm clearing my storage, I threw my 20" Sevas S22's back on my whip earlier this week. But I've been itchin to throw my Algernon 19's on to see if I could pull it off. So should I just stick with the Sevas or dare to pull off the Algernons...

Sevas:
20x8.5 225/35/20 +41
20x10 255/35/20 +41
-or-
Algernon
19x9 235/35/19 +36
19x10 235/35/19 +21

Sevas:



-or-
Test fit earlier today:

I'm running Tein SS coilovers so if I roll with the Algernons, yes, I'll go lower. That tire on the Algernon has major wear from when it was on the lexus. I have brand new tires that I'm going to pull off my Volks that are about to be sold and just put it on them.

Yes sir 1 pc.

So far
Sevas= +3
Algernon= +4

It's still a toss up.

Away from Sevas! POS wheel company, those are 1 piece wheels which crack. Dkid23 here on this site had them and posted up pictures when his set cracked on him.

The 2nd ones for sure! If not go with Work wheels.

This is how they always crack

Honestly I think the sevas look way nicer but unfortunately they are prone to damage... My friend has them on his Tl and they look sick.... i even wanted them but ended up getting the 3pc sevas r55.... 19's will let you slam it lower though

Vote for the Sevas.

I never thought I'd say this, but the Algernons look a tiny bit small in the rear. If you can get those in 20" or lower the rear a bit more, you'll be set.

But you really can't go wrong with either.

I admit the pics and the height do not do the algernons justice, however it wont take much to lower down the coils

No pics with the front. The setup on the fronts werent a big concern for me so I didnt bother to test fit

So far:
Sevas: +10
Algernon: +13
Stocks: +1 (thanks to bforbrian haha)
Looks like we have a mixed crowd!!!

Need better side shots of the Algernons, but from what I can see of them, I think I like the Seva's better.

So I was supposed to sell my set of voltk gt-c today and run the tires on the algernons but when he saw the algernons, he bought those instead. Go figure. Now all I gotta do is now see if I wanna run the volks.

Algernon dude all the way, f Sevas ans their crappy rims, i know alot of people who invested hard earned money buyin their wheels and had nothing but problems, and now their out of business. Those 19"s with the right drop will look sick, the HellaFlush look is whats popular now and those rims are different and will definately make yur car look hawt....i vote for the Algernon +3
