Default 20" Spirit Sagest wheels for my Aristo...

Any opinion on this, my best friend who runs a wheels shop is "making me an offer I cannot refuse".....

20" Spirit Sagest wheels (20x8.5 +31 super low front, 20x9.5 +31 super low rear)

On a JDM Odyssey.... (the one I will be getting is polished, not chrome...)






Close up...this is polished....



I am falling in love all over again with stepped lips....

This is my current car's state by the way with the 19" Autocouture Magnifique.....



Please advice!!!!!

Refuse him, your current wheels are nicer IMO. The chrome ones on the minivan look like a doorbell ringer to me, not a fan of the 'curved' dish.

Yikes, sorry! I meant +31 in the rear too! That was a typo. I will fix it too.....

So, that's a 0 out of 3......dammit. Am I the only one that thinks it's worth it?!?!?!

I think they look good in the polished finish, but I like your A/C wheels better..

It's a very nice wheel, but not really my style.
But Jon, if you like it, GO FOR IT!!
That is what counts.

I'm with the rest. I think your current wheels are better.

But that is the nicest minivan I've EVER seen.

For some reason I'm torn on these types of wheels, part of me doesn't like the curved face, but a part of me loves the super lips they yield!! I also think these have a real "JDM VIP" feel to them. That being said, reverse lip to stepped lip is a sort of backwards transition, IMHO.

I say go for some 20" iFORGED 2pc with those crazy offsets!!

(Sorry couldn't resist )
