Dude, I LOVE EM. At first i was like, oh whatever, then after doing a double take, I like em!! A slight drop may be needed, but I don't think you need a kit. I'm not in the boat like about 90% of the cats here that say you need a kit when putting dubs on a car. The whole it looks too raised, it looks like a 4x4 is a BS complaint. The crowd usually hates on anything bigger than 18/19's, if they aren't Volks, HREs, you know the typical stuff.

It's typically the 'rice' crowd that leaves a car sitting high on aftermarket wheels because they are uneducated on suspension geometry and stance.

20's can fit a car fine, but to those who have a trained eye, it has to be done properly. Just throwing a set on a stock car isn't going to cut it with real enthusiasts.

Agreed, that's why I have my 20s on my car using Tanabe NF210's, only an inch drop max. Still have no solid opinoin on it yet. Not meaning to thread jack, back to the subject......I LIKE HOW THAT CAR LOOKS!

ALwaysl oved chrome but this style of wheel fits a big luxo sedan much better. Sporty coupes look better with open-faced aggressively styled wheels.
