i agree with some of the other post
20's tend to kill the handeling and also the rub clerance would be really tight
and liking the design is kinda far feched those rims are busyer than a bishops hat

I completely agree with Memphis. All depends on Car, Color of Car, Style of Wheel, and Mostly if you like it or not. I can shop the rims in if you want. Just give me a list. I can Make them any size you want to see them. 22's, 20's, 19's, 18's or even 13's.[/b]


Can you photoshop this one for me? The people didn't put this one on my car. It was another rim with a 5 spoke that curved and it looked like a damn flower. I'm going back on Saturday to look at some more with my hubby. I have a couple of months to pick the actual one I want. I just threw em on layaway after I got out of class. I'm in ALS (if you're AF you know what I'm talking about) and I've never had this much homework in my life so it's stressful!! Anyway, I'll send you more pics to photoshop after I go back this weekend. Oh and I'll stick to 20s!

^Thanks for the helpful positive reply Matt![/b]


You all aren't offending me by your replies :) If I didn't want your opinion I wouldn't of started this thread but looks like the majority of you don't like em. I will be doing more shopping though so make sure you let me know what you think :D

It's called La Sierra off of Platte. You can't miss it...they got a big ole display of rims outside. All their 20s are $1300 with tires and they're not cheap tires either. You know them Mexicans got the hook up on rims!!

If those things come with Pirellis for 1300 I'd make sure they aren't stolen :P

LOL I doubt they're stolen but that is still pretty damn cheap for it to be almost to good to be true kinda deal

Heres a deal you could check out... these are on sale on Craigslist thats actually be sold by our Vender on this site.
Karl Jopanputras is the tire guy here and these 18" would look sick on a RX8... heres the link to the rims forsale

When you go back can you take some pics of the rims? I think we could all get a better idea of the looks with a pic. It will also help you chose because it will give you a chance to think about it.
