Default Replaced my awful rims..

So, I was going to go with 19" Forgestar F14s, but I ended up finding these for a pretty good deal. They're 20" Raiden D1-r's ... I know, i know..20" .. But like I said, the rims and the rubber were really cheap and in perfect condition.

Comments appreciated =o I'm thinking either exhaust, or paint the mirrors and door handles next.

The image is a little enhanced, so the solar orange looks a bit different than usual.

opinion.
New wheels work better than the old. Yes.. looks better.
However...
Comparing what you just bought to F14s is not a strong comparison or a fair fight.. those FS wheels are of great quality and the offsets you could have ordered would be more aggressive.

Id have left that part of the story out lol.

Not comparing. I just decided to get these for an amazing deal.. Forgestars are like 1400 without rubber, I got these for 1100 with rubber. Forgestars are nicer, definitely.

I needed to replace my previous rims bad though.

I like Raiden D1Rs, didn't know they came in 20s. I'd go down to 18s personally.
