Personally, I think those wheels, and that brand in general is pretty ghetto...do some classy wheels...you have a classy car.

ANY Huge UGLY Chrome Dubz will get attention. But does mean it's good?

To get attention, you can wear a pink K-Mart suit, wear about 15 pounds of fake gold, wear a fake gold Rolex KNOCK-OFF, put on some gold teeth, wear some Nike shoes, etc., etc...it'll get you PLENTY of attention...

lets not get carried away...the spitfires have nice clean lines/curves. a nice original design, and theyre not all clunky and overdone like most "dubs". altho i wouldnt run them on my car, i can appreciate them, and i think theyd look good on baker's car with the right drop.

$4K for wheels and tires isn't a bad price point...like Sick said, tell us what kind of "style" you're looking for. From the looks of that POS Niche, it seems like you want a Dish type or a "Negative Spoke" type...

Whoa! Ghetto. Bling, bling. Well, at least they are heavy!

Seriously, though... Hmmm... cheap 20s... isn't that an oxymoron?

If you want to be a playa, you've got to step-up!

i was looking for 20", probably like a 5 spoke, chrome or polish. It doesn't have to have a lip, it can though.

Hmmm...Advan Connoisseur No. 51c...inexpensive, but definitely not cheap...




Work Euroline LS



Both wheels are about $2700 retail (plus shipping) in a set for silver. You're on a budget, you might want to skip chrome since it's just an added cost...and with these wheels, you don't need "bling bling" to compensate for low quality and *****ty design.

But like SoCalSC4 said, if you want to be a playa, you need to step up...granted, you do have a '91 LS400 and you may not want to dump a lot of cash into it (which is understandable) but don't buy CRAPPY wheels...

You might want to consider 19" wheels...there are a LOT more options for quality wheels (especially Japanese ones since nearly every Japanese manufacturer makes 19" wheels)....personally, I'd rather do quality 19" and crap 20"...
