Default Requesting 20" wheel pic

Trying to decide if 19 or 20. I have seen here a couple of 19 (actually the majority have 19) but 20 are hard to find a side pic. Can you guys with 20's upload side (no angle) pics of your car? I want to compare them to the 19's. Doesn't matter if the car is dropped or not.

Thanks

I have never understand people on forums (in general, not you but perhaps you can explain it to me) that take the time to reply with "search is your friend, etc etc" Why? In what way does it affect you? Isn't the point of a forum to chat with other people? To help others? Or for example, when a child ask a question you ignore him or tell him to get on a computer and do a google search because what he/she is asking is already discussed and the answer is out there. If the topics have already been discussed what is the point of having a forum? Eventually you will cover all there is to talk about, so why keep the forum? It's just a starting point of a conversation and it can go anywhere, from pictures to recommendations to anecdotes, you name it. So yea, I don't get it.

I have been searching the forum for pictures and yes I have a couple, but still, I haven't found one that I can appreciate the details. For some reason, in some pictures the 20's look too big in other they look perfect size (for my liking) I have also send pm's to help me decide which size to get but so far nobody have replied.

It's so people that have been here longer than a month do not have to look at the same questions posted over and over by people with less than 10 posts and then you never hear from them again. This goes for any car forum. I like to contribute, but the easy stuff like this is just a waste of time. 20's are one inch in diameter bigger than 19s. Not much more to it than that.

Look at youtube, look at google images. Spend some time and look at all of the build threads. I probably looked at every one of the build threads one night after buying my IS in March. I couldn't just join a forum and start asking basic questions, I would have gotten flamed.

So... yeah.

One more for ya you can go to my build thread and check out a bunch more pictures these are 20 x 8 and 20 x 10 255/30/20 and 225/35/20 front that's definitely the largest tire you can run in the rear without worrying about rubbing good luck to you

Missing the point of a forum, it will have the same question over and over again. It has nothing to do with being a new or old member. The idea is to help and share, period. Why spend time in answering "search"? why bother? what do you gain? A waste of time is taking the time being a smart *** (no offense).

LOL yea I can count, 18,19, 20 inches. That was a good one. Btw, flamed, too old for child's play. To each own their ignorance. (don't know if that's how its said in English). Anyway, nothing personal just never understood the "forum mentality"

see, these look big (not saying it in a bad way) from other "20's" I have seen. I might upload a pic or two to see if they are 20 or 19, or whatever other reason why they look smaller.

Thanks for the pic

I think a lot has to do with your preference asthetically. I chose 19's because, to me, 20's are just a little too big, imo. But, looking at the pic you posted, there doesn't seem to be much difference than mine regarding the rims. However, there's not much rubber on the 20's.

They look smaller because the car is not lowered that makes a huge difference in the appearance of the wheel STANCE IS EVERYTHING!!! As well as the fact that my wheels have more spokes and are a directional wheel IMO
