New Shoes!!!

Got these from a member here on Azine...

Thanks to TRIOD3SIGNS for making it a smooth transaction.

They are 20x8.5 MRR HR2 that have been powdercoated.

No drop and one not coming... Offset 35 Tires 225/35/20

The only bad thing about one mod is that it ultimately leads to another... After putting these wheels on I noticed how horrible and rusty my stock rotors look so I'll be upgrading those soon.

Thanks everyone...


The ride suprisingly isnt bad. That was my biggest concern and other than the fact that I look for potholes a mile away now, it still feels pretty good. Havent had to drive on the expressway yet, will tomorrow since I work, so I'll really know the deal then.

finish is nice, but to pull off 20s with fat spokes, you really need to be slammed or it just looks awkward.....

DAMN those look hawt on a NBP. I really like it man.

I know you said you don't want to drop it and I understand, but your car will look even sicker with a drop! You don't have to go stupid low. The A-Spec suspension will do the job nicely and not sacrifice ride comfort

Indeed, 1 ALWAYS leads to another...


Wheels and stretchies look hawtness!


EDIT: As TRIO stated, ASPEC suspension would do the trick.

I remember when he posted these for sale and everyone was trying to convince him they looked good on his car. They did...but not because of the color on his color, because it was lowered perfectly.
Not going to lower because? Funds? Don't like potholes? Intimidated by the idea of doing it right or damaging something? Just curious because I think that would do those wheels justice!

Looks great though regardless.

Thanks everyone...

Not looking to lower because of the potholes, but really because I drive alot so I'm prob gonna go win a little larger tire with a little more meat and I don't want to have to be concerned with rubbing at all.

Depending on budget, honestly, Tein SS rides about the same stiffness as shock. Which amazes me. You set it on soft, and it feels nice and soft but with the tire tucking. It's great. PLUS, the TL has amazing ground clearance in relation to when there is no more wheel gap.
