you have chrome and polished youreself at the moment.. so what would you know>?? Ill post a pic of what 20" wheels done right...look like. And then you can make up your mind.


Many people on here say dont do this and dont do that, and get coilovers and sways and endlinks and **** like that. WHy? when we dont even track our cars/ or do aggressive driving? It'll be a waste of time and money... (with the exception of coilovers) LOOKS/PERFORMANCE

I can see when it comes to exhaust and sound but other than that.....

edit: Curtains and air bags?: Curtains.. NO... airbags... no.... coilovers is a good alternative to that and run cheaper than air bags with no modifications needed.

well if you stay in some guidlines when buying the wheels you shouldnt have too many problems.

1. Dont go chrome
2. Dont go with a really high offset like 40 if the wheel is narrow
3. Never go smaller than 8" wide.
4. if your on a budget dont go with the biggest wheel you can only to run out of money and put some shitty rubber on it.

+1 on this.. I am on Nitto NEO GENS... very good sidewall, very good ride... Dont go off and buy NO BRAND TIRES..... NITTO, TOYO, YOKOHAMA, PIRRELI have a nice tire for 20" wheels.

Ill post some more 8's with 20"s so that you can make up your mind.
