Wheel Teaser
Well, I couldn't relax. I kept looking at the picture of the wheel in 20 on a pic of an Acura CL I found. It just looks horrible to me. It looks okay in 22 but the 20, the spokes look too short and there are too many of them. Looks like a wagon wheel to me. See what I mean:
So I cancelled the order and chose this wheel. I tried to get away from 5 spokes but I love em. This is a 1 pc chrome forged wheel and it looks alright. Hard to go wrong with 5 spokes, though. Now I'm more comfortable and I don't mind waiting for a wheel I feel alright about. I don't like the fake rivetsbut what the heck.

What Happened To " I Don't Care For Rims With A Lip" " I Just Prefer Them Flush Which Gives Them A Cleaner Look" .... Lol... Just Teasing... Those Rims Will Look Great... As Soon As You Get Them Post Some Pics....
I didn't say I don't like lip. I don't prefer huge lips over 4 inches. I ordered 20x8.5 all around which gives a 2 inch lip. The pic is a 20x9.5 with huge lips. Mine aren't like that.

I loved the huge lips I had on the G35. But this is a luxury sport sedan. You can barely see the big wide tires in back. My wife's GS has 2 in lips and the car looks hot....and those are 19's. I think I'll be fine.
20 in chrome....that's plenty of bling!

Reggiek.....i dont know man??? outta the two wheels you are "on the fence" about, i kinda like the 1st ones better!! I personally dont like chrome wheels anyway, but im not really feelin' the 5-spokes. Ive never really seen wheels like the 1st ones (which i like that idea) and how much different from each other do any 5-spokes look?.. really?? I dont want there to be two of my cars that look identical. or see another car that looks like mine rollin' down the street!! the 5's seem kinda plain or common IMHO. Sorry 
about the chrome thing....most people dont agree with me on this one but to me it yells "LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT MY WHEELS!!!" I dont like that.

With the GFM GS350, I also tried to get away from chrome and 5 spokes. I bought 19 in Racinghart multi-spoke wheels that I thought looked great but just didn't match the GFM theme. This paint needs something shiny. So I sold the Racingharts and ordered the wagon wheels cause they looked different and hot in pics in the gallery of www.wtwcorp.com
but those cars are sporting 22's. Once I saw how ugly (to me) they look in size 20, I decided to go back to what I know...5 spoke chrome. I wanted quality but don't prefer multipiece so I got the best of all worlds....forged 1 piece chrome 5 spoke 20 in wheels. But that's best of all worlds to me, not anyone else. So it's cool if you like what you like, that's what makes this stuff cool.
