Ill never have 20's on mine either but I do think it does look good as long as you have a good set of rims and complementing exterior mods....gonna upgrade next summer from my 18x8 no names to some 18.9.5 Rota p45's or 18x9/18x9.5 buddy club p1.

unless you need the extra space for some extra brakes, 17s the way to go

yes, it's possible to mount 20's on our car but the general concensus is that a properly sized 19" wheel usually works better.
The 20's require you to stretch the tires a bit more then 19's and keep in mind you're adding quite a bit of rotational mass to the vehicle.

Offset will be vital when picking those 20's so be careful or you'll rub the hell out of your rear tires.
There is a 'will it fit' thread where you can get guidance on what wheels will fit.

what's your budget? no offense to those with rotas but i personally feel there is better value in almost all the other "brands". not sure what you're looking to get with them other than wider wheel size which you can do with any wheel.

i'd apologize for jacking the thread but let's be honest, it's a thread about 20" wheels and has pictures of zumn's wheels so the jacking only helps.

I want to spend somewhere around 200 to 250 a rim, not including the tire. I know the rota's are heavy because of just how huge those spokes are but for some reason I just like the way they look. I know RR sells the buddy club ones I was looking at in 18x9 +30 for about 250 per rim...Id get the RPF1's for just that little bit more but I'm not a fan of split spoke rims and I am trying to stay black if possible.


But this isnt until winter is over and I need a new set of tires anyways

rotas are not a bad choice considering if you bend one its almost cheaper than a tire to replace, they're decently strong and relatively light depending on the rim, if you drive hard I'd recommend it, personally i dont see anything wrong with them, especially if u bend a volk or anything expensive that's the cost of 2 or 3 rims

^Definitely not wanting Vok or anything like that because I just cant justify spending that much money per rim when I don't track my 8

it's all a matter of opinion and budget. i can't see spending the money on a set of volk's but i also have a wife and 2 kids so that's where my money goes. but when i had to get a new set of wheels i was split between enkei's and 5zigen b/c i felt they were the best bang for the buck (light, good looking, strong, not a knock off) but that's just my opinion. i didn't have the budget to spend a ton and wasn't going to go with heavy wheels that were supposed to look like others. i landed on the 5zigens and really like them.
