Wheel: Ace Alloy "Executive"
Size: 20" x 8.5"
Offset: 38
Pros: Quality wheel and design
Cons: none
Tires: 245/35/20 Bridgestone Potenza RE960 Pole Position (love these tires)
Lowered: Tanabe NF210 Springs (slight rubbing)


Reason: I chose this wheel cuz I wanted a 10 spoke design but was tired of the chrome finish and opted for a machined
finish with black. I considered the Vossen's but like the fact that the lug nuts are hidden giving the wheel a clean look.

Guys please post the specs. Just posting pics doesn't help much if we don't know size, specs etc and we have a huge modification thread for "pics". Thanks

hey moreformy4 your ride is big time. I am loving the rare garnett color of the car and the wheels and drop are solid. I am running the same tire sizes and have no rubbing. I have told myself that if I get a new set I want a set of Vossens . Good choice on the wheels

the first mod most people get are wheels.

that's why i wanted to make a separate wheel gallery thread, rather than going through 1000 pages of random mods.

so in the future, if anyone wants ideas of what to get, they only have to click one thread.

Work Varianza T1S with Pirelli P-Zeros
20x9 +38 (245/35/20)
20x10 +47 (285/30/20)

Tein CS-T coilovers

Slight rubbing on front and rear drivers side even after fender rolling
The ride is very stock - the spring rate of the CS-T is very close to stock
I would do 275/30/20 on the rears next time to minimize rubbing

Pros - I love the aesthetic of the Work wheels. Makes the car look 1000x better

Cons - A lot of people feel the same! Thats why there are so many 3GS' on this forum with the same wheels (However, I have yet to see one on the street!! )
