I threw the 20s on! They're Mizati Klicks and let me tell you....you can feel the difference! It doesn't even feel like I'm driving a sports car but oh well I love em and I still got the stock wheels just in case. I'll take some pics as soon as my spoiler comes in!

Congrats

Congrats [/b]

Oh I forgot to tell you what these effers did! The only reason why I put these rims on right now is because they told me the tires are all season Yokohamas. Well when I get home I checked the tires just to make sure and they're Nankang summer tires....THE ONES I ALREADY HAVE! So I call them and I said what happened to the Yokohamas and they said Yokohama makes Nankang. You can tell that to my 3 yr old but not me! So I'm going back on Monday and to get my Yokohamas.

Okay I just found out that Yokohama owns Nankang...is that true??...OOPS Still...they're not all season!

Frankly, I wouldn't want all seasons on a ginormous chrome wheel like that. Having summer only tread will keep you from driving on them in the winter, thus helping to preserve the uber-shiny-chromeness of the wheels.

I like these wheels better than the other wheels you posted about.

Thanks. So you think I should just stick to these? This is my first time buying rims so I'm open to advice!

All show, no go.
Amirite?

"No go" meaning can't drive it in the winter? Yeah I would have to hitch a ride if we get a shower. HOPEFULLY nothing big is coming!

tom is right...with rims and nice and shiney as that, you probably don't want to be driving that in the salt and grime of winter...throw your stock oems back on

oh and congrats...those look nice!

"Stick to these", meaning the tires? Can't say for sure without knowing what type of tires (other than the brand), but I'd say that if they are a non-all season tire tread/compound, then you should be OK.

But I'd be watching the weather closely. I think you can get by for a few days without problems, but I would be swapped back out to the stock wheels before the next threat of snow is in the forecast. And then I'd keep these wheels inside until late March/early April.

"No go" in the sense that bigger rims always give you a harsher and slower ride in exchange for better looks.
Isn't that what you meant in your original post when you said you could "feel the difference?"

Nice. I'll check them out the next time you're at Stetson.

And I agree with the others -- put the stockers back on if it's going to get wet and messy out there until sometime in April....
