To many guys here, these 20" rims are going to be considered "over-the-top" and/or too blingy.

I am happy with them.. even though they weight a TON! The tires are 245/35/20s in the front, and 255/35/20s in the rear. Rims are 20" 8.5 front, 9" rear, both +38 offset. I am not going to deny the fact that it would look better lowered, cause I agree. I am not gonna BS and say "Oh I like the way it looks all lifted up high", but honestly it isnt as bad as I thought it would be so I dont mind it for now. As you can see, I dont have the mufflers on it, but I will be putting tips on there soon as well.

Let me know what you think.. be brutally honest.

Also, sorry about the crappy pictures (I had to use my cell cause I lost my digicam charger), AND I apologize for the kink in your neck you might get from looking at two of the sideways pictures. I am not responsible for any damages.

I love chrome wheels but these seem out of place on the car. So it's the design that is the issue. They seem huge for 20's. Looks more like 22's.

Not bad man, not bad at all. Its somewhat importish, but nothing extreme, which is good

not bad (ie, could be worse) but the wheels are too big for the 1LS, and it might be just the pics but the front seems to stick out a bit too much.


not a fan.

I do agree that the front tire does stick out ALLIITTTLLEE too much. (so its not just the pics ).

I honestly was surprised how big they did look when I got them on there, cause I dont think 20's usually look that big on a 1gen. Oh well...

By the way Pure.. Do you have any pics of your car? I have never seen a picture of it, but I have been wondering what it looks like for some time now, especially since you have so many posts!

Thanks for the comments, by the way!

If you decided to lower your car ask CL member jasonm on what springs/shocks he used. He has 20" on his LS

Iansaltes

Hmm.. I don't remember saying that, but I might have. I wasnt really looking for a specific look when I was looking for rims.... I was open to the VIP look or the blingy chrome look as well.. and these just came around for a really great deal so I picked them up!

Puredrifter,
I love the look of your car, very nice and clean!

Flipmoe,
I read what he did awhile ago... if I remember correctly he had Tanabes (2"'s?) and Tokicos. If I do drop it in the future, I do plan to use that same setup. Thanks!!

Also, is it normal for the front rims to get hotter than the rear rims? The same thing happened with my 19's. I know thats probably a "noob" question...

pfantom68

Yeah, it's definitely normal. The front brakes apply more force to stop the car, so naturally they generate more heat, making the front rims hotter than the rears.

and more brake dust in the front.....
