Put some wheels on the ride...

Stokes · 03/05/2009, 03:11 AM

got a set of 20's today on the ride. Paid 1150...i forgot the name of them..some new kinda wheel...pretty hot tho'...my car is a definite ''slug'' now

but i like the wheels..don't bash me to hard guys...the front lip looks a lil ruff and needs to be repainted..i have plans of painting it, still undecided on the color...

Pace187 · 03/05/2009, 05:34 AM

honestly, i dont hate it, when i read the description im expecting the worst, but when i look at the picture, to me it just isnt that bad. But finish tinting those turns

Pearl01Strat · 03/05/2009, 05:36 AM

Too big for my liking, but the style of the wheel looks great.

RalliArt2000 · 03/05/2009, 06:15 AM

IMOP wheels to big but i do love the stle of them! Nice clean car

Regulator · 03/05/2009, 06:48 AM

Black on chrome works well IMO, but I think 19s would have been better suited for many reasons. I'd ditch the Blitz SS and rear, they look chintzy.

I totally agree with this statement.

Stokes · 03/05/2009, 07:44 AM

Well I love my rear bumper but I always felt like I should change up SS.

Eclipse03GS · 03/05/2009, 07:51 AM

The wheels look pretty good and the lip is nice. Now you need a big brake kit so you can stop those 20's.

finesse49ers · 03/05/2009, 08:24 AM

I would agree 19's might have been more suitable but it's not bad.

I wasn't expecting it to look ok, but it does. Like everyone else said tho 19 may have been a better choice, but still not bad. You should definitly go all SS tho, or atlease WW.

Tearstone · 03/05/2009, 08:54 AM

I actually like it man. The blitz rear needs to go but I don't think the dubs look too bad on your car.

pimpinprice · 03/05/2009, 08:55 AM

not bad, alot better than i thought it would be. black on chrome ftw

I agree.

Good choice on wheel style though.

Stokes · 03/05/2009, 09:15 AM

thanks for the input guys...
and trust me, i feel you guys on the 19''s issue..but here was my logic thinking....i used to have a set of 19's and the tires used to cost me around 130 a piece..well, for the 20's..THE TIRES COST THE SAME PRICE!!....so, i opted to do the 20 because it seemed like the better way to go in the long run. I had to cut a lil out of the fender well in the front but i still have lil bit rubbing when i turn hard...

Tearstone, thats a torque rear, the sides are blitz

davila825 · 03/05/2009, 09:23 AM

wow those are some big wheels. feels like they are overwhelming the car but overall i kind of like them especially the style of wheel.!!!

jhoffner · 03/05/2009, 09:29 AM

I like the wheels alot, and I typically don't like chrome in the least! My only beef is the red on the rear rotors. The wheels look great IMO though, good choice

stylez · 03/05/2009, 09:41 AM

You know, Im not really a fan of chrome, or big ass versions of chrome wheels, but I dont mind those on your car. I think the main factor is the color of your car. I dont think they would look as good on any other color.

In my experience, 20s are often cheaper than 19s when you account for available sales and discounts given on the popular tire sizes (sales usually skip 19s)

Good choice in wheel style though. The 20s look good because you have other mods that compliment it.

Tx4Codeman · 03/05/2009, 10:12 AM

The wheels dont look too bad. You need a BBK to fill it in now. Can't wait for those sides to come off. Looks like an eclipstang

HomieG · 03/05/2009, 03:49 PM

Those wheels are too big for my taste.

Sh4d0wX7 · 03/05/2009, 03:58 PM

I like these. I know dubs are 2" too big for most reasons on the 3G, but the style isn't that bad. The chrome looks decent on them to me.

Regulator · 03/05/2009, 06:28 PM

on the BBK. Some Baers or EVO Brembos would look like sex behind those wheels.

Regulator · 03/05/2009, 06:31 PM

White Knight · 03/05/2009, 06:50 PM

anything over 18 is to big for my liking, but you pulled it off and it looks very nice on your car. i agree with pace, finish tinting the turns

blk8_9eclipse · 03/05/2009, 06:58 PM

lovin the style of the wheels but the brakes are way to small to run 20s go with a nice set of 18s

05eclipse05 · 03/05/2009, 07:06 PM

im glad are sporty looking and not all G'd up. Looks decent indeed

Mark · 03/05/2009, 07:12 PM

your pictures suck but I dig the 20s. Nice!

Jaicee · 03/05/2009, 08:18 PM

nice wheels. i miss the crome. be sure to take care of them, if not over years they can start to flake. i learned the hard way.

Cudude11 · 03/05/2009, 08:21 PM

Wow big, but I like them.

travion · 03/05/2009, 11:47 PM

not the best looking wheels,the person who lives across from me has,i believe the same wheels on his Pontiac grand prix,it looks wrong.

Special_K · 03/09/2009, 06:17 PM

Looks good.

soccerdud346 · 03/09/2009, 07:29 PM

looks good, but id have to agree with finesse, to much wheel, it look better with 19s

Theredshocker · 11/20/2009, 07:45 AM

Nice ride, but I dont see where your talking about the tails, you said they were nightshaded in my thread didnt you?

Those wheels are ginormous! They do look nice, but I have to agree with the smaller size statements though.

WELL DONE. I was scared to check it out cuz i was anticipating seein a 4x4 3g with big ass wheels ..but I was wrong..nice style and lowered that looks sweet.good job..and the kit flows well...wingless > wing.... which is why i dont have one....sick ride bro

WEASELFURY · 11/21/2009, 09:30 PM

now go tell invaderGTS it IS possible to run 20's and not "scrub"

they look surprisingly okay... can you really tell the difference in acceleration now?

EZT · 11/21/2009, 10:16 PM

Damn those are big nasty, but I think it looks good.

ocr · 12/22/2009, 02:11 PM

i didnt think 20s would fit. they look nice. i had problem rubbing on stockies when i lowered it on tien springs. but after a few hard turns the rubbing will go away. keep it black. all in all ill give two thumbs up

shit, i had to literally cut a chunk out of the plastic fenderwell in the part near the bumper on the driverside. The passengerside, I had to do the same, but I also had to take a mallet and bang in the corner thats exposed when the fender plastic is cut.

after that, It was totally clear..I've taken those off now and put my 18's back...at least til summer..
