Default Picking up my wheels tomorrow!!!

I've been looking for rims since I got my car and I found them. I know that most of you on here go with the staggered but I'm a big, flashy chrome kinda guy and I got them cheap as hell. I'm getting a pair of brand new 20" Lexani Krystals for under a G. Had to hop on them. They retail for way more than what I'm getting them for. Got them dry fitted on my car yesterday to ensure that they fit.

The shop I go to had a customer put a small deposit down on them a year ago and never picked them up. My boy told me that he wanted them off the inventory and he would give them to me cheap as hell if I bought them soon. Probably gunna hold off for 2 weeks to put them on to make sure there's no more snow but I can't wait!!!

Once they're on I'm gunna figure out what springs I should get. Most likely the NF210's but I wanna see how she sits with her new shoes first.

Here's what they look like...opinions are welcome.

Can't say they are my cup of tea. But, it's your car though, if that what you like then go for it.

A pair? or a set?
Not to my liking, but as long as you lower your car and dont 'ride high' it will look fine.
Congrats

I meant set...I'm polish what can I say. Car definately won't be ridin high, just don't want to rub. my last honda was dropped 3.25in and don't really miss dippin sideways to get over speed bumps. Love the was Esp's drop but seems like they'd rub all the time.

Rims weren't my first choice but the price made them impossible to pass up. Where else you gunna find 20's that cheap? and I found a site to get my tires for $500 shipped to my door.(245/35's)

My boy had a SET on his TL and they looked good.

I'd rock teddy bears before those.

But more power to you if you like them.

Go ahead and throw them rims on now! It hasn't been a rough winter in regards to the snow. I wouldn't worry about it all.

Its a Dirty South thing... Mostly Old school Caprices and whatever you drive, throw 24's to 30's rims on it and put a lift kit on it with paint
