Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

because they are black, they look 100x's better than chrome 20's would. lower it a bit, and you're set

cant tell...what brand and model are they?


also..noticed your location...are you on the 5 freeway before the 118 in the mornings?

The car looks AWESOME with those wheels, at least in the pictures. What kind of wheels are those and how much $$$$

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

you need to lower it about an inch or an inch and a half

other than that she looks mint...i'd probably get an aftermarket body kit too because its still gonna look like a 4x4 even with the drop lol

just be careful what kit you buy...dont rice it out

While they are still not my cup of tea, I must say that those wheels on that car don't look too bad...

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

honestly...i think it looks like crap...even if you do lower it.

the black helps...but not much.

but the important thing is that YOU LIKE IT

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

also not a big fan more because there not that functional meaning that if i were you id want some sort of reasonable priced performance tire and 20" tires are very expensive the car doesnt look bad though

Lower it about 1' or so. Yes, that is one tally-mark which represents a foot.

GFX would help, too.

Otherwise, I like it.

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

That is by far the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen, well the most gorgeous thing about an inch and a half too high.

I'm torn between being inspired to imitate and the horrific sadness of knowing I can never suceed?

What's up with your taillights? Are they covers?

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

Sorry, it makes the car look like it's 20 feet in the air. IMHO, 18's are the max on an F-Body.

How wide are they?? I run 17x11's all the way around and I have no problem. And I also don't spend $2K on tires either. I can run sticky tires in a 315/35-17 size and pay about $120 per tire.

Someone's got more money than they know what to do with.

Re: updated pix...20" rims on ss

every tire cost $150 each...not bad for 20" pirelli p zero tires.

the taillights were smoked by yours truly

i just saw a 3rd gen with 22" tires in back...now those are tooooooooo big.
i think my ss looks sweet, so if u dont like it , maybe u cant afford "dubs"
