Well i'm not into bling myself, but if i were i think id like them.

Except...what on earth width tire is that? Its stretched out like drifters do on their cars. Why?

Watch for curbs...

I like the rims but must be a ***** to clean. The close up pic. seems like the wheels are set to far out.

20x10 is sick. What ET(offset) are they?

The only part that looks "far out" is where the spokes meet the hub. They do that so they can recess the hub where it meets the barrel and create that deep lip.

If you like the way the wheels sit thats cool. I just don't like the wheels sticking out the side body that much, I do like the rims.
I've lowered my car and used spacers ,the back I used 12mm to just bring the wheel even with the body and the front 10mm.

Wheels are ok - dislike the tires, look like they need to be about 4 inches wider to actually fit the rim...

If they were body color or chrome I'd be digging them. I personally hate chrome on a sports car. Chrome makes me think Heavy, Donk, '64 Imp etc... They would look good on an S550

I think a teeny bit wider tire is needed here. The lip is cool, but needs some meaty rubber to show it off.

As everyone has said, that tire is wayyyy too skinny in the back.

You can't really brag about having a 20X10 wheel if you put a tire on it that would fit on a 20X8. :-/

  • Rims look cool
  • Tires not wide enough.
  • Sidewalls stretched to the limit.
  • I feel the ride would be pretty stiff to

thanks for the replies. powdercoating the wheel(except for the lip) to match the body paint would be my next move. as for the tires in the rear, point well-taken.

Not too bad and hopefully you don't get too much curb rash due to the narrower tires. Good luck!
