These pictures were literally taken within a few hours of each other.. sorry for the poor quality but it was taken with my phone.

Before.... 17 inch stock Chromes.. yeah, yeah, they look OK..


After.... 20 inch Lexani LSS-5.. no my car isn't dropped. the stock rims are in the trunk and backseat



I will try to have more pics up later.. ENJOY!

i didn't mind the chrome either. The Lexanis are nice though. Machined spokes with the insides black. Little chrome lip.

Sets off the car more in my opinion

There you go....the 20's give the car a totally different look...That's what I'm talkin' bout'. Is there going to be any need to roll or shave the fenders?

When I am driving or in motion no matter at what angle i turn I am fine.
However, when I am trying to maneuver out of a parking spot and have to cut my wheel all the way I do here rubbing. Don't know where its coming from though... sounds like from the front

Ehh.. I park in a garage.. and barely drive the car in the winter. I assumed I would be fine. This was actually taken as the snow was already melting. Its all gone now. Hopefully never to return again. But yeah, I cant wait till the warm weather comes in!
