Finally took the heavy annoying 20's off the car today, and went back to stock 16's

its amazing how different the ride is...i was shocked. the car accelerates faster, turns better, the rid quality is 10x better. and because of the tanabe springs it sits lower and handles better without the 20's

stock 16's might not be as nice, but im never goin back to them 20s

just wanted to share that...

anyone else had bigger rims but went to smaller and noticed difference?

 

you should start riding on sum 15 inch hahaha jk watt u plannin on gettin later 19 ?

 

Unsprung weight

 

were the 20"s chrome? how much do they weigh?

 

I had 20" but they were 3 pc forged aluminum, much lighter than 1pc cast wheels. If anything I had better road feel, handling and steering response with my 20"s. But yeah, nothing feels as comfortable as stock wheels and suspension

 

got a picture? I'm going to lower my car on tanabe's and want to see how low they sit with stockers

 

same here, picture please!! especially with the stockers, cause thats what i have right now lol

 

see if you can find those old skool 13" sr-5 rims

 

lol ok ill go take some

yea they were triple chromed and 2 piece. not sure about the weight ill find later on today while im takin pics of the car on stock wheels for all you guys that wanted to see the height on tanabes.

haha 14's all the way! lol far far into the future when i can save money and after an exhaust ill get 19's yea or 18's

 

really? probably cuz my wheels were so much heavier

and alot cheaper lol

 

yeee!



back



front




FRONT theres like 2 and half finger space



Back about same amount of space




my old rims

 

wow, this guy stole my car

im riding stock 4 now, she rides like she suppose to, but i love 20s look n feel

 

thanks man, that looks about what i was going for.

 

Yeah, the old heavy ultra-bling wheels you had were probably 45 or 50 pounds each! They look like one-piece cast to me with fake bolts/rivets...

You would have been happier with a lighter wheel (three-piece forged).
Also, tires make all the differnence. Most people buy no-name tires for their 20" wheels because they're cheaper. A set of quality tires really make a big difference in ride quality, noise level, and handling.

But, c'mon, let's be honest... the OE Touring wheels are pretty awful looking.

Sorry, bro... they just are.
