Default Finally got my new Wheels!!!!!!! Opinions welcome:)

Hey guys,

this is my first time posting pics so I hope it works out.

Anyways its very hard to find good wheels in Canada and it came down to 2 choices, these or some savini sv12's, I think I made the right choice with all things considered.

These are Auto Couture Black label Magnafiqes in 20 inch polished finish, I dont know the offsets but they are 9.5 in front and 10.5 in back.

Aside from showing them off I was wondering since I am on stock suspension and stock hight will I still need to worry about rolling or pulling fenders? I assume not but i wanted to double check.

Also i searched alot and was not able to find any sc's with these wheels, im wondering if anyone has any pics thety can post.

Thanks in advance guys

Heres a few more pics, im sorry about the cell phone quality its all I have.

My plans for these wheels are to move the rears to the front and get 6 inch lips for the back, currelty they are about 4 inch.

If anyone knows any good places to order 40 hole lips that would be great.

Thanks

most times the wheels show offsets on the inside but ive been looking and i dont see it on these,,they are kind of dirty on the inside so maybe ill find out once I clean them fully.

Just looking at the dish size, lip size, and general look of the wheel, I think you are some where near +35mm. There is a slight chance that you can get away with out rolling, but I highly doubt it. I guess the tire size could also play a factor. What tire size are you running? Do you have a kit? 20" dub wheels on the stock body looking frigging huge btw. You'll notice a dramatic increase in the handling, but those wheels are sort of heavy so you'll be sluggish off the line. They are still very nice looking and I hope to see some pics soon.

They look to be high disc for sure, doesn't appear to be low offsets. I would guess in the 30s. I haven't seen too many SCs pull off a VIP wheel but I do like those.

Thanks guys im glad to hear some good feedback on them,also i am aware that sometimes the v.i.p look just doesnt seem to flow on the sc but of course im hoping i can pull it off.

Tabaka no i do not have a kit but im on the market for a 97+ sides and rear, the tires all around have a pretty decent stretch on them as well but im not sure if its enough.

Rear wheels are 245/35 and fronts are 225/35.

Ill post some pics for you guys once they are mounted

I rode on 20x8..5 all around (with 245/35's) on my pre-'97 body. IMO, you're going to need to do some rear fender work for sure. Hopefully you can get away with simply bending in the metal trim. If you do it right you will be okay. It should be easy. Also, your car will look ridiculous without at least a front lip. Very nice looking wheels by the way..

Heat gun, baseball bat, phone book, and rubber mallet should do the trick

They are cool looking wheels, but I think they would look better on a GS or an LS.
