What do you guys think about these new rims for my car? They are Bazo wheels. We took these off my car and I am waiting for a different set because the rear wheels was 20x10 +25. The rear had a 4 inch lip though.

Would love to see a front view of these wheels. How could you rate Bazo as a wheel company?

Why not leave them on? 20x10 +25 is very doable in a GS. Well for me, at least.

McCong, looks nice, maybe try some custom work to get the wheels to fit (fenders, clearance, etc). Silver with chrome lip is a nice look. (I always like alsilverbullets setup because of that)

bluelex is right. That was cong28. This is mcgong (with a g).

Anyway, those lips look very nice. A straight on shot of the wheels would be cool too.

Post Bazo Wheels

Dude! Those 4 in. lips are sweet. What kind of problems did they pose. And can anyone tell us what offset on a 19" and a 20" rim would give us the most lip without any need to "massage" the fenders. And what size lip would they be?
