new wheels

so the tires on the stock 17's ran out after 18k, those yoko advans suk btw!

i decided to look around for some wheels, and found these on eBay for a great price. 3pc chrome wheels, 20x10r and 20x8.5f, came with Falken 452's in almost new condition.

i plan on getting some pro-kits or maybe NF's, and then later on a lip and roof spoiler.

pix aren't great...but i havent been able to clean her up yet. will get some high quality ones this wknd

what size tires are you running? They seem big for 20" rims but it may just be since your car isnt lowered? Will look much better once you drop it.

Nice color

thanks all...the car definitely needs a drop and some other exterior mods.

tires are 245-35-20 up front and 275-35-20 in the back. i know if i do lower it, the front tires will probably need to go to a 235/35 or a 245/30. but we'll see. v

your tires are almost 4% larger than spec.
and your rear wheels are 7% larger, and spin slower than your fronts.

do you have any warning lights going off? or traction control problems?
