Ace Executive 20", 1-piece cast in Hypersilver, fit perfectly and very affordable at $300 per wheel.

Very nice and classy. How well do they balance or do you experience vibrations at certain speeds?

I'm relieved to hear they balance well because I'm currently considering getting this ACE wheels. Opinion?

I like those too but I don't like the rivets, I think there's too many, it makes the wheel look kinda cheap to me. I would have to see them on a car to make an accurate judgement.

I agree on the rivets but am unable to find one this style without them.

Nice drop in the back, still that gap in the front. I'm running the same problem. Waiting until I get my Datasystem to even the look out. What method did you do to lower?

Uh yeah, hate to jump on the bandwagon but you gotta drop the front another inch. Just my $.02

I see what you guys are talking about with the front appearing high. Honestly, in person it doesn't appear as high as in the pics. I noticed the same thing when I saw the photos for the first time. I lowered it by adjusting the rods. I did shorten and rethread the left rod since it was the first to bottom out, so I could lower the car more. I still have a few threads on both rods so I may lower it another half inch in front.
