Default Finally Made My Rim Decision

Well after spending various hours looking around the forums it didnt take me long to realize this seems to be more of a tuner car forum.

I am probablly going to get bashed for this on here but this is the decision I made.

20" Chrome http://superbuytires.com/Giovanna/Ararat/

Will this tire size be ok?
What offset do you suggest?

I want the rim to sit exactly flush with the body of the car. I DO NOT want them poking out but at the same time I DO NOT want them tucked in either!

(even if you dont like or agree with the rims im putting on please help anyway)

Well, I guess you like them since you selected them but I am not feeling them at all.
Not feeling superbuytires either. I bought wheels from them and found them to be less than competent. If there's any mistake they won't stand behind the product. Then the tell you they don't have to be nice cause they make sooo much money they can afford to **** off a few people. That sucks.
When I tried to get their help they went on to clublexus and used one of my posts against me. That really sucked.

No bashing your choice. Who cares if I or anyone else doesn't like them. There are other Giovanna's I would choose though.

If you want a full face, that is fine and I understand having a budget. However, you seem to be kinda **** (like many of us) with fitment etc and Giovanna will leave u hurt. They just don't "fit" well, not sure if its b/c of design or what but they never look right, no matter how hard someone tries. You can always tell something is off/wrong with it.

You will need to ensure off-sets are right or you might need a spacer.

reminds me of higher end Work wheels. Check it out.
http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/products/index.php

like pushinlex said, your $, your 2GS, your garage she's sleeping in. try a pchop first to see how they will look.
and like 1sick mentioned, there may be something "off" w/them. either way, be patient and look around. best advice, dont jump into it too quickly

by the way, giovanna's are MIC, maybe thats why they're "off"

I think you can do a lil better. especially for how much they are. Did you try derrick at d2 autosport? he is a vendor on cl and he probably get you a nice set of one piece wheels for less than that.

Not trying to bash. But you could do better that those.
They are..... ghetto....


HRE is not ONLY tuner's wheel.
VIP modular isn't, I-forged isn't, Work isn't, Autocouture isn't... and my list can go on...

Say what? Now see, this is the type of business where someone needs their azz kicked, seriously. You don't play with a man's hard earned money. That's completely uncalled for.

I threatened to bash them over the airwaves on every site I'm on. They told me to go ahead....they make more money than I could affect.
