Default new wheels... 4th set, hahaha

well off came the winter wheels, and on go the summer wheels. Got a smoking deal on a set of 20's with brand new tires. I will of course powder coat these as well but I am really liking the chrome. I think i may do chrome spokes and black out everything else... either that or color match the spoke section on the wheels and black out the rest.

just need to lower the front 1.5-2" lower the rear .5-1" and install the new exhaust and she will be right about where i want

They are Platinum emotions. 20x8.5-35 offset... i hate all wheels when i first put them on a vehicle, so i give them a bit of time to grow on me before i start powder coating and changing things around. I still have to powder my calipers and not sure on color so i am just gonnna rock this for a few weeks and see

I think it's the small tires that are making the wheels look funny. I bet it will look good once it's lowered.

I have the same reaction. The chrome is just too much with everything else relatively muted. You see all rim and no tire.

was finally able to spend some time cleaning up the new wheels and made some custom center caps for my company. being a powdercoater it is rare anything stays chrome around me... but i have to say i am kind of liking how clean it is now that the wheels are all polished up

looking good! I have a similar set of rims myself!


what options are you looking at to lower it?


all ive found is a set of springs, but since im in Australia the cost of postage is the same amount as the springs!!
