Absolutely that was my goal. next, the roof spoiler, red tinted tail and cleared headlights to add more chrome to the front end haha.

Not to be arguementative but respectivily the OEM 19's weight 28lbs, so those 20's are 50% heavier . I can toss around the 19's with or without tires pretty easily but I guess you're just a really strong dude; those must weight well over 60lbs with tires.

I never cared to monitor my MPG closely until after I had the software update and torque converter replaced, are you saying you've noticed a decreased in MPG after the update? Anyone else want to chime in on this?


Edit: instead of clearing your tail lights have you considered having the housing painted a matching color as the front? Talk to JnC he won't disappoint you.

haha I'm not a strong guy! but you're right each wheel must weight like 55-60lbs (mine are with 36psi each).

They replaced the torque converter last year, but the vibration continues at 20-30mph and low revs, then they did the software update with no results. The vibration continues, I'm waiting for the warranty because they told me that maybe need the transmission to be replaced. After the update the MPG decreased from 17.8mpg to 14.5mpg (rural area) in urban I can get 20mpg or less. Im assuming that the decrease ocurrs for 3 reasons: first I need to put the pedal harder everytime the vibrations start to shift the gear from 4th to 3rd or from 3rd to 2nd. Second, the car shift at higher revs to avoid the vibration. Or third, maybe because I'm driving the car in the "S" mode.

I'm very disappointed with that issue and they (dealer) don't even know how to fix it.

I want to clear the (just remove the amber reflector) front headlights and tint the rear tail lights in red./quote]

I ALWAYS wanted those wheels for both my 4Gs... especially my Palladium Metallic. Not many people did it, and it looks great

my only beef was the weight. they are definitely not light, and rob MPGs and power.

Yea, they're a little heavy & chrome but dayum does that look classy. I dig it. I felt my 19s so I bet these would be a little heavier on the braking but so yummy!

...oh and that totally looks like my island - la isla del encanto!
