my new 20's let me know what you think
Let me know what you think of my new rims. 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10's in the rear. I'm having alittle trouble with rubbing in the rears on the fenders. Any easy way to stiffen up the rear and raise it alittle. Thanks Guys

Give us some more pix with different angles. So far I don't think they look too big, but more pix will tell.
For instance, I think the 17s for my winter tires are definitely too small. The stock 18s look better, but I've often wondered about how >18's would look. Of course the wheel style can make a big difference, but some times "size does make a difference".
Zoom, Zoom!

^ agreed chris, some just say that cuz its a number and they're just following what someone else said. 20's can look great if the wheel agrees with the rx8 lines.

Not a big fan of black wheels, but those tuck in nicely.
Size looks pretty perfect to me.
I say if it doesn't raise the car off the ground and you can still steer like you're meant to, they aren't too big for the car. Since our rolling stock is 18, 20's don't look bad at all. Now 22's would be a different story...

Im sure performance wasnt in his thoughts when he decided to buy these wheels, its about style for this guy. Style wise i think they look sweet... would look 10 times better with tinted windows...IMO go as dark as legally possible all around, makes a TON of difference on the look of your ride and will set off the black in those wheels. All my opinion mind you. Looks good man.

Thanks jones75254 I have a 67 GTO is for the performance end this is going to be more of a visual car...even tho the GTO is visual too. I still have to take the wheels off again for the rubbing issue and painted calipers will come too Cops and tint in my area dont mix....they have nothing better to do than pull cars over for that stuff....but eventually

Yeah man, even so (cops), you can go get 25-30% all around and be totally safe (30 being fail safe). Through my experience though, cops tend to turn their heads from tinted sports cars moreso than any other type car, ei. slammed 24 inch wheel rides, lil loud-*** ricers, ect. Sports cars are typically tinted out anyhow so it just seems normal rather than the tinted out "punk" cars. Tint is relatively cheap and the caliper paint is a few bucks at auto zone, i expect to see pics of that red rocket with tint and bright red calipers by this time next week!!! LOL later

I think they're cool. I've read of some people rolling the rear fender...you could try that? Where'd you get 'em? What kinds are they? Can you make full-lock-to-lock turns?
