Dont be a wuss, 20" with 225/30-20 plus a drop!!! Go for it, after all, its only fender modding! LOL

Nice looking wheel, kinda "thick" centercap, but a nice design nonetheless. Enjoy

look good, my only minor gripe is the center caps. I kept focusing on those instead of looking at the whole wheel.

I've seen them a couple places for around $250-300 per wheel. They're Carre wheels, and Seize posted a pic of one of his friends cars with these a while back and I thought they looked pretty good, so I looked into them.
