I was thinking of putting 18x8.5 Foose Nitrous Gray wheels on, I was wondering if anyone has put Foose wheels on there 8?

Here is a pic of the wheel I was wanting to put on my Titanium Gray, what does everyone think of this one on a Titanium 8? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks in advance for the ideas.

i think they look too much like the 5spoke muscle car rims and the 8 is definately not a musclecar. but hey, its your car, its your dream, if you like em, buy em.

When I bought my car back in February, it had Foose wheels already on it. I'm sure they are a little heavy, but I think they look great.

What size are they? do you know the size spacers for the off set?

Foose wheels are pretty pimp, and though they may look heavy they are forged billett so the weight is not what you'd expect from looking at them, I'd love to have a set myself but it's too much $$ and it's too hard to keep polished aluminum wheels clean compared to chrome or other finishes. I had a set of Budniks before and it would take me hours to get those wheels show ready.

I actully bought some Foose wheels from wheelswest.ca awesome Price. I got the Foose DF-5 ( Chrome with Black Inserts) With 20 X 8.5 in front and 20 X 10 in back all riding on BFG tires they said they will ship them out ASAP I just paid for them yesterday I am stoked!

Only 3200 ( CDN with tires!)

post pics when you get them on

FOr sure man for sure.

These are the rims I bought (exact same colour with the chrome and the black pieces in the middle)

They are 19 inchers but I am unsure of the width and offset. I have 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the rear. I guess I will go out to my garage and try to measure them one of these days!

Like I said, they were on the car when I bought it. I get many compliments on them. If you are looking strictly at perfomance (light weight) then go with something else.

I like those but I just wished they come in gray like the nitrous do. That is the main reason for wanting those.

I am not looking for performance just looks.

i think chip should stick to modifying cars, not designing wheels.

that's a retarded statement, Chip desgns some of the nicest looking wheels out there, period.

ScreaminRX8

Well if you notice on all the cars he modifies he puts his wheels on, which changes the look of the cars drastically!

i second that... some are okay depending on the car some are just raw ***. like chromes with huge centers that look liek they should be on SUV;s on imports... it doesnt work.

So I went to a local TEIN Dealer told him about my 20's coming in and he said that I will have fitament issues and that I will be rubbing if I install the S-Tech's (I bought them off EBAY Just needed them to install) I told them not to worry due to all the people who were running the same set up as me. He called the other shop morons for selling the wheels to me.

Don't you guys just love how two shops just have to flame each other regardless of the reasons?

Foose just give off the "too much bling" effect. Personally, I hate chromed rims on the car, just makes it look uncivilized but that's just my opinion, don't let it stop you if you want them.

oh lord, I see another tajaba in the making, don't make my mistakes!! dont!!

I think the "bolts" around the edge of the wheel are what gives the too much "bling" effect.

lol

Personally, i'm not a big fan of those, but people don't like mine either. Just depends on the person I guess. If you like them then get em, don't let other people make the decision for you.

...on an impala

ocrapitzleon

seriously, just go get Sport Max or Rotas
please no Taj-ex-wheels LOL

I'm sure they guys on this forum will tell you if the wheels will fit. What size and offsets are the wheels? Not too many people have 20's here, but there are a few and they look good. But it really depends on the style of the wheels. Let's see some pix once you get them mounted on the car.
