Ill trade 18s for 19s or 20s

Im not sure if this is thr right spot 2 post this thread but hear goes. I just got a pair of 18'' Konigs Unknowns 2days ago. I love the way they look, However id rather go with a bigger size either 19 or 20. So if anyone out there has a set of 19s or 20s with good tires that are looking for an even swap,let me know here are some pics

to be honest i dont think many people on the forum actually have 19s or 20s on their cars right now let alone the exact rims you are looking for and no one is going to want to swap out more expensive rims for cheaper ones and lose money on the deal even if your rims are brand new. you might want to try some of the other forums and see what people had to say...but unless you offer some other incentive, i doubt anyone will go through with an even trade. i ran into a similar problem at one time. might even want to try calling the place you got them from and maybe they will be kind enough to refund you and replace them with 19s or 20s for additional fees.
just trying to help ya out.

Well i just put it out there because im sure there are people who bought a set of 19s or 20s and like in my case had a different opinion after they were on the car. I like mind dont get me wrong however they judt dont look as big as the stock rims. Well ill just leave the thread up and see what happens

Its the Damn Lip on those wheels... I am/was looking a those in a 20" wheel myself but ive seen 3 cobalts with that wheel on it already so im looking into some other ones.

DeathDealer you would be the LUCKIEST PERSON in the world if u find someone who is going to do an even swap for some 20's ............... Best bet... Sell them on ebay.. take your money and go for the 20's Check out the Tuner 2's also.. they dont look as small becuz they dont have the lip like the unknowns. Also The G-RACING SIEGEN in 19's. Same style but a ful face wheel.. those are my #3 on my list of wheels

how much would you want if you were to sell those because we can meet up and pick up so you dont have to ship.

the tuner 2's look way bigger than they are, the unknowns look way smaller. it's because of the way the spokes sit in relation to the lip, it plays with the eye.

here are the tuner 2s on my cavalier...u can see how gigantic the look. definately look like 20s


ive noticed that people tend to think the rim size of my new rims on my cobalt are 18s or 19s when in fact they are 20s...they have a very deep lip.
here is a comparison

Rims with lips do make the rims look smaller. I got 19" Axis mods and they dont look like 19s. I had a set of 18s with lips on my mazda 6 and they looked like 17s. Then i bought a set of 19s with no lip and ppl thought they were 20s
