well, the wheels were on the car when i bought it, i really like them, but as of a few days ago they are for sale. im going to go with a set of 18's (not sure yet) or possibly just some chrome TT wheels. the sooner the car is paid ...the sooner the TT is under the hood

As I said before, Im not a fan of "bling" so Im not defending the car in regards to that; however, I am a fan of clean, and that is a clean car.

If it looks nice and is relatively unfuctional (serving littler purpose), than it must just be a "luxury."

Bling isn't luxury. It's fad/style.

You somewhat missed the point in the original post which was inresponse to someone else's comment. However, in all honesty, this is all way off topic and we're essentially beating a dead horse. You say bling isn't luxury, I say it is. I'll agree to meet you in the middle and say we're both right and wrong...Or just right?

When you can drive a Bimmer (and many other automakers) off the lot, which is consider to be a luxury car, with 20" factory rims for a couple extra bucks I don't see how it's a fad. Style yes, fad no. Car themselves have changed in such a way that they really accomo
MongooseGA is right
Realistically, the only factory 20"s come on large sedans, no sport coupes or GT glass cars.
Anytihng chrome and 20"s is overkill, both in performance, traction, tire selection, ride handling, and warping. Now if they werent labeled as DUB's, his handle wasnt "dubstar", and his wheels werent chrome, I would totally have responded with a different answer.
But unfortunately, they were. So I responded with my opinon on them.

So basically you are saying that 20 inch CHROME rims are bad for performance, traction, tire selection, ride handling, and warping....but 20 inch rims in a DIFFERENT FINISH wouldn't have the same effects on performance, traction, tire selection, ride handling, and warping? I fail to see how the wheel finish has any effect on this...maybe I am misreading your post?
