yes those are a beautiful set of rims. the black accents really make the spokes pop at you. Im still hooked on getting black rims with a chrome lip.. still going nuts over whether to get 19's or 20's

i think 20s is the way to go, 19s look a bit small, ES is a large car...i debabted that myself but if i am going to spend a lot of money i want to make sure there is no regrats, 20s will likley be only about 20% more $...well worth it not having regret, thinking i should have gotten 20s...

yeah, thats true.. but in all honesty.. I didnt buy this car for the looks, or the mods I could do to it. Its was mainly comfort and the smooth ride. I really really really really dont want to lose that smoothness. Ive heard of 20's rubbing and having a harsh ride, and if I can get 19's and up the sidewall to preserve some of the smoothness, then im all for it. I think i would have to drive the car on 19's and then 20's, and see the difference in ride comfort, as it was the primary reason on me purchasing this car. We'll see.. seriously, this is eating me up inside, it looks so good with 20's

They remind me of the UL Graphite wheels and to the trained eye, it is a very nice variation from those UL wheels by a specialty wheel manufacturer.

Man those are the rims I wanted...you went with same size all around? I think you could have gone wider in the rear with a different offset. Can you please post when on your car. I like the color combo..what color car do you own?

Default just ordered my tires

i've been lazy, i just ordered my tires. 245/35/20. will put them on this weekend. stay tuned.

Also, i asked work wheels directly and they told me you would have rubbin issues and might need to roll the fendors if you went wider than 8.5 in the es....sucks but that they way it is I guess.

Default finally got em on

sorry it took so long







I'm still gonna need to drop it. I heard of some place in florida doing it but i don't think anyone really followed up. Anyone know? Anyho, its still a work in progress. Once it's lowered the car is going to really stand out (IMO of course )

Hey bchi99,
sorry it took so long to reply but I replied your message about the springs. You can check your private message box to see them. Great looking wheels man they set the car off right. If you want to see the drop again look me up on car domain at www.cardomain.com/ride/ and at the end type the # 3065265
