Look dude, everyone's hating on 20's because you might lose 1hp. I have 20inch axis chrome mod 7's. the lip is huge, the car rides just as nice, if not nicer and i can't tell any diff in performance (heck, were talking 1-2hp). The only black rims I saw that I liked were CE28 Time Attacks, but then they were 3k and I was gonig to have to wait about 3 months to get them. As far as the style, get what you like, cuz u r paying for them--most of these guys just by volks, rays, and stuff becuase someone told them or becuase everyone else is doing it. Yeah, real trend setters customizing is a personal choice--you should make up your own mind and not let people influence your style. if optimal performance is your thing, why spend 3k to save 20-30lbs on rims when you can just diet and kick your girlfreind out of the car. I've lost 3lbs already And outside car nuts like ourselves, no one knows whether you spent 1000 or 5000 on rims and wheels.

If you can't tell the difference, then go with the heavy ones. Not a big deal. But the difference in weight has to do with inertia and getting the wheels spinning, and it's not a direct comparison with sprung or non-rotational mass.

btw: mine aren't chrome they're silver with a polished lip



I've got the same rims on mine, except they are all chrome. Since I don't plan to beat my car up at the track on weekends, they work greta for me. I also find that my rides is softer--go figure! great choice!

jesus christ, i don't get why people keep arguing about this...

if you don't track your car, why not get 20's? Its not like people with 20's are on here complaining about how little horsepower we have. If you don't think they look good, that's one thing, but STFU about the performance issue...no one with 20's cares...if they did, they wouldn't have gotten 20's...if i went to the track and cared about my times, i'd switch to different wheels for sure...i'll shoot someone in the face if they actually go to the track all the time and have 20's and complain about their times...if you're purely about performance, everyone knows you don't like 20's, and we know that you lose hp due to extra rotational mass...20's look good...that's the only reason we get them

edit: didn't check the dates of the posts, i guess people stopped arguing a while ago...lol
