Rim Sizes?

[Power]

Drive your car normally on a  public roadway and road related areas and 20's wont worry anyone. They will however become a great excuse for a defect and traffic infringement if the attitude sux and your driving record reflects it.

....and if you have an accident and your insurance Company notices that legaly it's unroadworthy......and in addition you didn't tell them it was unroadworthy.

The problem is that all of the 20" rims people are putting on the T look, well, gay.

No offense to all the owners in the above cars pictured, but crap man, every single rim shown is chrome... AAAHHHHHHH! DIE!

I know its personal prefference, but chrome rims make me want to spew. Leave extra shiny additions to the rice club, make the body of your car a mirror finish, not your damn wheels...

/me puts flame suit on.

Hi, my first post here. I couldn't agree more. I suppose I sound like an old bas*ard but to me chrome wheels don't look right. Shadow chrome - OK but full on chromies always seem to look cheap. I know that I'm probably out numbered in this opinion but give me a nice clean set of BBS rims for example and I'll show you a classy ride. BTW inquiring about replacing my VYSS with an XR6T tomorrow!

From one old bas*ard to another, I couldnt agree more. And if you cant afford BBS rims, go the Lenso copies

Thanks for the welcome. BTW, is there anything I should look out for in the deal? ie are the performance brakes worth it? I was also thinking of getting my own wheels: 18 or 19s rather than the factory 18s. Not sure if I should start a new thread?

I now have 20" on the front and 22" on the rear they should be fitted to the car this week I figured I needed some show with all the go

As far as performance on the road who cares really if you want to race take it to the track

I reckon over 19's is prob a bit to big, but Link's car looks nice, although I do have a soft spot for them HP rims....

[IceMyButt]

Thanks Mr man.

The HP rims represent good value for money I think - and arent too 'over the top' with chrome!

I am happy with them so far!
