Talk to D2 for wheels.

As for the ride, what are you riding on now? OEM 16s? 17s? Especially if you are on 16s now, you can forget about the quiet and smooth ride of the 16s when you swap with 20s. You will also be slower since many 20s, especially chrome, will be heavy.

Just pm'd you with some wheels I'm selling.

To be totally honest, when I changed from 17's to 20's with the falken tires, I did not notice much of any ride degrading.

baby...unfortunately there is no such thing as a cheap decent 20" wheel. 20's are either cheap cuz the chrome is thin and will eventually peel or flake or pit or all of the above, besides the fact that they weigh like 80lbs each w/o tires.

Good 20's weigh somethin decent also, but are gonna cost you over $4k

I would say either step down a size or two or prepare to ante up

my $.02

Yeah, for a 20 inch wheel, if you cheap out on production, you have the the succesibility to bend the wheel, and if you cheap out on the chrome, it peels and you are left with a rusting wheel. That's why a bunch of us feel it is better to save up and do it right when it comes to body kits, wheels, or audio projects. Do it right the first time, even if you have to spend more or save up, and you will be much more pleased in the long run.


BTW baby_lexie: sent you another pm

Lexie, what is your budget wheels/tires? you may be able to get a decent quality wheel in silver rather than chrome.
