Those wheels will make a statememnt.

Not too bling bling. Racey and classy at the same time.

They are the nicest 20" wheels I have seen.

Great choice.

And it's cool that you got the wife involved.

Props for that.

Bill

Hey Dova,

Here is my contribution. I did this in Fireworks though. Hope no body is offended. :p

I could do this in Photoshop also. Not a guru just a hacker.

My 8 is red so I took a picture from somebody on the forum. Hope no harm is done.

20's with all that crome take's the focus away from the car and makes it look plain...the wheels will flow better with the car if you add a body kit. Nice wheels, just don't up stage the car by adding wheels only. Good Luck!

Original M/Speed kit is still the best looking and fit around...most people that see it on the car think that it was stock, which means...it flows well with the car. Start with the M/Speed front bumper and work your way back, who says that you have to do it all at once? Part of the fun is when it is a work in progress. Post along the way.

"20's with all that crome take's the focus away from the car and makes it look plain"

What's wrong with looking at a toy car?

I just can't picture it. Can you come to Seven Stock and show us?

By the way I hate wheels with all those fake bolts. Just takes too long to clean.

Looks great, but I'd rather not spend an hour on each wheel to clean them.

20's make your car faster.

Add spinners and gyroscopic effect will bring your to 0.95g level.

i'm kidding, it's a good choice of wheel and size (should i mention it? Is Mugatu's listening? shhuuttt)
