Default 19's or 20's...which look better?

Sorry, new pics came out freakin' huge...

Old wheels were 19x8.5/19x10...Piaa Super Rozzas


New wheels 20x8.5/20x10 TIS-12




Rear lip...


I'm still getting used to the bling. Never had chrome wheels before.

wow, that might be the best looking wheel that TIS has ever come out with...would be better if they made it with a lip or more aggressive pull on the design but they both look nice. It's really what style you're looking for. 19's are more sport/VIP depending on the rim, 20's could also be VIP depending on the rim but are usually just dub/bling style. Either way, looks nice gotta go lower in the rear though man.

in terms of size, i'd go with 20's because the tire cost of 20's is marginally more then 19's.

But in your case, I'd pic 19's. I never liked the Twenty Inches Strong wheels. Plus, i think TIS is made by ADR.

got that backwards no? 20's should be cheaper than 19...

I like the old 19's much better, those 20's don't do anything good for me.

Default It depends on what look you want

If you like the sport look.... put on the Piaa wheels..

If you like the Bling look... keep the dubs on..TIS's....


Imo, the Piaas look cleaner. They look more sporty too. And it gives your car a better stance.
