Hey there. I'm based out of Kennewick. 04 z, 6 speed, etc etc.




I have spent a few days fixing some Mickey Mouse crap the previous owners did and am now on the hunt to replace those rims.

It needs more than that but I'll get it there. It has some 20" staggered jokers on there, I'm not sure of the brand because the center caps are missing.

I like lighter weight, performance based 18s. And non stretched tires, I'm really not a fan.

Maybe I'll start a trend and this stretched tire nonsense will go away.

Laff.... only said that cuz normally Trav is the first up in peoples' grill on "wrong tires". Hahahahaha.

Followed by me.

But yeah, hear ya. Wheels do look OK for 20's though, gotta back Trav on that commentary.

Welcome and nice Z!

The style isn't bad, it's the gold mesh and tires that kill it for me. If I don't find anything locally that I like to trade for I'll just have to order some 295s and see how much fender I gotta roll so they fit.
