Sweet rims. Looks like you have a dent in the front driver's side fender right about the wheel.

is that the standard ride height, r they 20s?

im contemplating 19" volks wheels from santa but dont want to mess with the stock suspension as its perfect for our roads. Plus my last car was 55mm off the ground and was a pain in the ***

your car sits really well, i like it

maybe needs a couple mm at the rear (but some subs and amps in the boot would sort that )

Very nice ride. Those 20's look real sweet on the car. You just need a drop now.

Yeah they are 20's, figured why not, same profile as 19's(35f/30r) everyone else is running, and no need to drop it. I had the 17's OEM before, not much diff in ride quality either suprisingly.

Really really nice.

I had a question for all you guys with 20's.........I just got a pair of 20's last friday with Falken tires and Im loving them, but my question is do you guys feel any of the cars vibrations a little bit stronger after the 20's were installed? This only happens to me at idle. It feels just the way the car felt when I installed the Kinetix plenum and my strut bar was rubbing against it. I have a crawford strut bar and it moved slightly and is touching the engine now. I will adjust it and hopefully it is that, the item that is causing this but any help would be appreciated. Again this thing where I can feel the vibrations stronger then before is only at a stop sign or it at a stop I turn the wheels. FYI my wheels are not touching or anything they fit perfect. Could the new rims have moved the strut bar? DOes the strut bar need to be re torqued after a 20' rim install? Let me know.

Looks really good, you may want to invest in a kit also to compliment the big rims.

Looks awesome, congrats, love how gunmetal matches with the silverstone, exactly the color combo I'm gonna get, but looking at the GT-AV's, but unsure 19" vs 20".
