Question Need community help with rim choice.

Hello everyone, I'm looking into some wheels for my NBP TLS and have a great opportunity to get Lexani wheels at dirt cheap! I'm going with 20"s and will get the fronts either 8-8.5 and the rears 9.5-10. I'm rolling the fenders and all so no worries. Now for the choices I'm looking at, I would like your feed back please.




What do you guys think?

You ask that shop of that rim will clear your brakes fist. because from the design of the wheels it's not likely.

What about the Vertini Hennessey's? They look similiar to the first set and probably cheaper than Lexani.

Yes I made sure they understood it was for a TLS with Brembos. The first rims are a 3 piece forged so they will be made to spec.

Lol I thought the last one was kinda different. I think the first ones are going to win cause that's the ones you all seem to like the best, my wife likes the best and the rim shop picked out to look the best.

What do you mean coilovers? I know I have to roll the fenders and what not. I'm also going to be ordering a set of drilled rotors.

I like the number 5 as well. And when people say coils they are talking about coilovers. As in suspension. Or you are gonna be riding like a monster truck on those wheels. 20s without a drop looks stupid in my opinion. You have to go some serious low to make that look good.

Ok So after all this my rim guy and I found another set that was cheaper and that just came out this year! It was first featured at the MHT DUB show 2 weeks ago and now I'll be the first to have them


I think these are going to look great especially when I get my new rotors

Not completely sure on the specs due to the fact they are still brand spankin new for 2011. They will be here in about a week and their getting made especially for my car. I know their 20"s and I'm pretty sure the backs are goin to be wider than the fronts.
