Neither is my style. Sorry. I think your front wheels need spacers, they seem to be inset.

Not the best in the world, but certainly not bad, and for the price, even better. There is someother guy in here that just got wheels for 400-500bucks, 20"chrome. Youguys must be ebay / craigslist HOUNDS!!

Lol....Damn u guy's are rough.Thanx for the comp's good and bad. I know they aren't high end wheels (compared to your guy's rims), but like I said, for the price I couldn't pass em up. I was and am still looking 4 other's, but these will do for now, since I needed tires anyway for my stocks. If you actually see them in person they don't look as bad as the pic's. The silver face matches close to the car's color. Shoot at least the tires are almost new and that was what I was tryin' to get in the first placeHere's another pic

I stumbled across them while looking for tires, I thought it was a missprint. I mean the tires alone are worth it. The guy said that these were tsw high end wheels and that it was a 2 piece wheel. I know you know your rims, do you know if they are? thanx

Like the others said, not my favorite design style, but for the money, it sure looks alot better than stock. Your drop is nice, but the design makes your wheels look smaller than they really are. I think its the small inner circle design of the wheel. You could probably re-sell those wheels for double, then use that money for a new set of wheels.


Your friend needs a drop BADLY.

i actually like the wheels. I think you need to go lower + spacers and a lip kit then thatll change peoples minds
