Default Pics: New wheels

Hey Guys,

So I have owned this car now for 3 years and finally got around to getting rims for it. Take a Look the rims are 20" MRR's, tires are 225 35 R 20, I thought they would look to narrow but look good to me (ideally I would have wanted to go for at least 245's but I got a really good deal on the rims w tires so am satisfied for now. I believe the rims is a 8.5 so the tires do look a tad stretched but not too bad.

Anyways let me know what you guys think, my next mod is to get a front lip (any suggestions?).

Also does anyone know where I can get that tint/overlay for my taillights? I am not talking about a black but its a classier deep darker red (so maybe a light tint) I have seen it on multiple cars and would love to add that?

Please let me know or any other ideas/recommendations you guys have.

Thanks,

Very nice. Agressive, and more upscale look to the Lexus tourmalines.

Looks like it sits flush! Is your next mod a mild drop?

Thanks guys, I am considering a drop however winters here are brutal and I plan on driving it through so possibly next spring.

Weird thing is should my air pressure light be coming on? I am 99% sure I dont have those TPMS sensors in this set of rims however my light did not come on? (It does with my winter tires/rims, but not these?)

How does the 20" wheels affect the ride. I imagine that it might be a bit harsh. Is it significantly so?

It's suppose to pakattack, how far away do you keep your OEM rims? and how long do you drive? That will tell you whether or not the TPMS should go off or not, there's a thread about it floating around somewhere.
