What do you think

I am looking at getting these rims for my Victory Red, SS/SC. I have not seen these anywhere and they are nice rims, dont have to worry about break dust either.. Let me know whats up, how you think they will look.

not a big fan, but if we all drove our cars around with exactly identical wheels, mods, etc, there would be no differentiation, and thats what customizing is all about, so i say, whatever flys your hair back

got 20s on mine with no problems. just had to modify a little bit as with almost all sport compacts you try to squeeze rims and tires that big on.

without the wide body kit all you can fit is 20 by 7.5 NOT 20 by 8.5, DOC had already got 20s and they are 20 by 7.5, also everywhere I have checked is saying the same too.

True, I got them to fit. Its a tight fit too. Anything more than 7.5 won't fit without issues or modifications.

Thank you DOC, I would still like to get 20s but just no ready for the hazards of the road to those wheels and tires, plus it is very hard to find an nice pair to fit our bolt pattern.

WoW those things must weigh a ton, just so you know, you're deff going to be reducing your acceleration and increasing your stoping distance. Sorry it's just that I allways think about preformance when puting somthing on my car... Preformance > Style

I don't think would weigh too much more than the stock wheels. I weighed them and I weighed my 20's and there was a difference, about 11%.

Are your wheels as bulky and chrome as the ones he's looking at?
