How much time will you lose on the track?

That is why people don't want them.

18's ftw. My opinion but my last car, bet thing I did was sell my heavy cheap 18's from drag racing. Got 17's fn01rc. Best thing I ever did

OK, now that I'm not mobile I can see it better. Spacers and a drop would be my suggestion.

Nice tool boxes btw

The car looks appealing with the 20's but get it lowered. Also, while the wheels do have an ebay look to them, I think they would look a tad better without the centercaps

Bought some lowering springs today, it's been driving me crazy how high the car sits (as I mentioned in the first post, as well as several of you thereafter).

I didn't expect everyone to like them, some people do and some don't, but it's all good because I like them and I'm the one that drives it.

What's funny is I've always said I'd never buy wheels bigger than 18s with my last car, and was pretty sure it'd be the same way with this one but I like they way they fit on this car. Once it's lowered it'll look much better, and I'm planning to have the wheels repainted a cyber metallic gray (I think it'll accent the blue paint better than black).

They don't look bad at all. Better than most of the 20's I've seen.

It is what it is. I like them, but even if I got sick of them, I could sell them for much more than I have in them (sold my stock wheels/tires for $800 and paid $800 for these with better/newer tires) and buy a different set. I really like these though, once I get them repainted cyber gray and the car lowered it will look significantly better too.
