As I recall, Gettins got discontinued. The picture is of Work Euroline FS. What do you think?

you can still get Gettins at Wheel Power or Wheel Experts. I'd try Wheel Experts first, they're a bit cheaper.

What wheel power wants for gettins is outrageous..I think the works look nice, but have you checked out the fabolous line of wheels???They have some wheel designs that I feel would look really great on your car..

Yeah, I have seen the Fabulous wheels. They are way too heavy for my setup. I am actually thinking about Work Meister. They are light and look pretty cool with descent sized fender flares.

To my knowledge the fabolous wheels are forged and very lite..I could be wrong though, maybe GS4WILL can clear this up..

The problem I have with 20's is that they are rough. 19's are rough also, but not as bad. As far as traction goes, you loose traction as your sidewal decreases. Ideally I would want 17-18" rims to get more power to the ground. Then again I don't want to loose too much bling either. Size 19" is what I can live with in terms of comfort, traction and not hate myself.

I was really looking to get Panasport's RACING/G7 until I found out they only came in 18's. Talk about unique and light.



For now I am still considering Work MeistersI find something more interesting.
