Default Picked up some new wheels----:P again

whats goin on fellas, I know that I just picked the apollos (TE-37 Replicas)not to long ago but I seriously could not pass these up. Picked them up really cheap from Rey down south, specs are Lsportline model IV 3piece 20X8.5 +24 and 20X9.5 +24, I am planning on just replacing all 4 outer barrells in the future cause the lips on the 2 fronts have serious rash the 2 rears aren't to bad, the lips sizes are 2" in front and almost 3.5" in the back so I am probaly gonna add .5" all the way around so the fronts can have a 2.5" lip and the rears a 4" lip I know its going to be aggressive but I guess I'll just stretch tire LOL. any ways it won't be for awile but I just could not let it pass on by, last picture is future plan with the wheels, a brushed look to them. let me know what you guys think, just got done cleaning them up and there are no bends or cracks on the wheels and seal is still good just rashes so I might just get some cheap used tires for now and try them out for awhile. on with the pics...

Sorry, not a fan of those wheels at all.

Maybe it will look better once mounted on the car and dropped.
