Din,

What type of 20s do you want?? I could definitely make some suggestions. That damn car is nice, what did you spend on the kit and paint?

The Lowenharts are nice, but mucho expensive!! The LR-5's would give more of a "balla" look, and the BR-5's are more sporty, either way, you'll be sitting REAL nice

Check out Ebay, you never know, you might be able to sell them, or even arrange a trade! Did you try to do custom stealth system (mount subs under rear tray with enclosures) before you did the box. i want to know what I'll run into if I get a SC. I have a sealed box with 2 12's in my GS, and I couldnt get a suitcase in there for a million dollars. i really would like to steer clear of that with my next vehicle BTW, after I buy a home, I want to get a 98 GS3/SC3, so I picking your brain beforehand!

I just read not to long ago about just getting the Bersaglio wheels from japan, same exact wheel as the BR5, same company, but you may be able to pick them up cheaper then the LH's

Not sure. they are all part of the Hart company, just marketed under different names. I read some posts saying the Bersaglios seemed a little nicer.

It was a recent post I read on here, I don't know what topic it was but since LH's, Mayas etc are marked up here so much, maybe you can get the same wheel from Japan but cheaper..... Maybe

Some quick math using MSRP and an exchange rate that is off a bit, you could get a chrome 19" in the low to mid 800's maybe compared to superbuy which is selling them for $950+

Add in the exchange rate and shipping, minus what a good importer can get off MSRP, you may be able to save some serious coin.

Again all quick math...

Yeah Ive check into the Bersaglio about a year ago one guy told me at that time he could get me a set shipped on the boat from Japan for 2500$ a set for some 19x9 Chrome Spoke II. I was agoing to get them but found the deal on my BSD with tires so I got those instead.
