As you all may know, my old name was blackberryle84. I had to change my name since I forgot my pw and my e-mail address that it was registered to.

My old setup was 19x8.5 et32 235/35/19 BBS LM's with the red center caps.





I decided to sell the LM's due to financial needs and decided to go stock for about a year till I was financially stable again.

This year I decided to cop some new shoes for the ride. I been eyeing alot of people's rides with what shoes they got on it. Was pretty difficult to find since I didn't wanna jock people's style and I was picky.

After checking out rodney's ride, I decided to cop the same shoes as him, but less aggressive, and a different finish.

Four months of countless waiting, e-mails flying back and forth about different tires, fitment questions, they finally arrived.

I decide to stick to 20x8.5 all around with same offset as my old setup but with a bigger size wheel. Didn't really want to do staggered since our car is a FWD (to each it's own) and I can also rotate my tires as well. I think I should have went a little more aggressive on the offset, but I can always upgrade with minor things.

Here are some pictures of the ride with the new shoes. Feel free to express your opinion, positive or negative. This is a forum with different opinions on what people think right? So far, I've been getting really good comments on the shoes. Like rodneyy said, guaranteed 3 positive comments when you first put them on.







Yes I know about the scratch, fixing that next.

Im feeling the new wheels. What type of lugs are those and if you don't mind where can I get them?

bbs lm's ftw imo.

mmade22

Too big and too bling...get the old rims back or at least get a big brake kit to stop those heavy ass rims.

Love the AME FX's, but if you got Ash Metal then I think you would get more hits... BBS LMs are just so bad ass. Either way, you can't go wrong

vt4lifecuf

should have keep the bbs

bigBLACKTL

the new setup is SICK bro, i love BBS but the new set is deff no downgrade car looks amazing

like the style, like the lip, like the lugs, but the chrome is killing it.

i've always liked the fx, but since you got 20" and because of the 5spoke design. you have to get some BBK to make it look right imo.

ktran3991

needs chrome lug nuts and bbk then it be a lot better.
are the wheels staggered offset?

sixsixfour

BBS LMs looked better.

ASASN21

Yeah i'm gonna have to agree with others, the LMs looked much better. The AMEs are definitely sick, but I personally think they kinda lose their "sickness" with the 20" and chrome characteristics.

honestly. i LOVE the AME FX wheel... i wanted it , but am too impatient to wait 90-120 days for wheels....

the BBS LM's were more "iconic" in my opinion.... i think these look alot better.. but like the others said, a BBK is crucial now.... Red Rotora would do the trick

The new setup looks good but NOTHING beats LM's.

D R E W

yah, i'm not feeling this new setup as much as the BBS. Definitely need to add a BBK (front & rear) to go with the new setup.

Overall, still looks good but not as good as the BBS wheels.

IMHO, too tall and too weak. but like you said. to each his own. and I think BBS extreamly > AME

20TwozZZZzz

Daaamn you blinging now homie!! Lookz real nice but i would of personally gone with a staggered setup and these would of been a huuuge hit on here but like u said "to each it's own" either ways, your new setup is killer and thats just seeing it in the pix...i know in person it probably looks insane haha!! Nice work man...

looks ahiight i guess, maybe just need to go lower

davidle84

Appreciate the constructive criticism guys. I guess when I had the LM's I wasn't really into it like everyone else. I only really got it because I wanted some wheels and I knew that LM's were a big hit and the price was a steal.

I think AMEs look pretty koo but like what others said, a BBK is needed bad. Also maybe partial blacked/clear headlights would probably flow better with the wheels.

The new shoes still look tight.

vipTL

iTrader: (2)

well lets see.. i agree with the BBK, and if you lower the car about i dunno an INCH at the very least, then give those wheels a 20mm spacer and camber it. then you got a good set up!

Maddizm

iTrader: (5)

I think both setups look good. It just depends on the look your goin' for. The old setup was 'sportier' this is definitely more bling! Tire specs?

wasupdog

iTrader: (2)

what's that black strip around the rim for?

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

the thing is they are 2 contrasting styles... there are mesh fans and 5 spoke fans

me being a 5spoke fan drooled... damn near rodney's setup for real... I think its cleaaaan and flush.... looks nice... most importantly you love it...

dumamei

looks real good.. You could really use some Brembos.. Red to match your lugs..

davidle84

235/30/20 all around. Didn't wanna go any higher because so many people around me kept saying it'll rub, which I knew it WOULDN'T.

davidle84

Appreciate the criticism. Should I do 20mm for the front's and rear's? I was thinking 10mm.......

liking the new set up but I am a die heart BBS lover. I wish I can afford those BBS wheels, even just the reps

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I think the car looks great with either wheel/tire combo you had. I'm leaning towards the BBS just a tad more, but I still like the new ones.

Is that your house?

CLS in the garage?

davidle84

Haha that's my bros house.

CLS on 20's I tell ya.

iTrader: (3)

Damn. You and him should get together and do a photoshoot.

sunny201

I like the new AME 5 spokes better..

djbonsu

iTrader: (3)

i think it looks good either way! both setups offer a different atitude for the car IMO

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

I love it... looks really dope... I'm a HUGE 5 Spoke fan... and those FX' have always done it for me... I wish I never sold them... It's weird cause the dude that I sold them to lives in Texas...

Car looks pimp... all you need is a BBK to shine behind them...

What disk did you go with???
