So this past november i purchased a CETA. The car did not have original wheels... Instead, previous owner installed some Asanti 3 piece 20 inch wheels. In my opinion they complimented the car quite well, Black with yellow lip with the car being lowered.


But at the end, i wanted something different, i wanted something close to originality and better driveability so i "upgraded".

From 20's to 17's

BEFORE: NOT THE BEST QUALITY PIX... 20's all around







AFTER: 17X9 17X11's









SO which looks better??

The 17s look MUCH better, the other wheels looked too ghetto IMO. Was the RF 20 wheel bent? Looks kinda funky in that one pic.

20's looked much more striking than the 17's.

Same thing I was thinking, the new wheels look better! I don't hate the 20's and I actually think those looked good but the 17's look real good too and I bet it feels better too

Thanx guys and yes, RIght front is bent but still holds air just fine, gotta repair it and then sell em...

I really like the 20's myself, but imo 17's look closer to the originals collector rims...

One more thing, the car actually picked up some kick...

WIth the 20's the car would barely chirp 2nd gear, but with these 17's, it spins all the way till third (tires in the back are new)

And the car is lid, PTB only (m6) lol...

Those 20's were by no means hideous... I just don't know about the off-sets that you had on them, they looked like they were kind of hidden inside the wheel well. Those 17's tuck up in there very nicely!

X2!! I would say 19s in the back and 18s in the front would prob look the best

i liked both , the 20s looked better the 17s will perform better . And that car is too damn low .Raise it up a little more . Obviously you don't have long tubes.

My car is about the same height and i don't have many issues besides driveways.

And I personally love zr1s on T/A, so I'm siding with that, but the 20's looked great!

20's were gaudy, 17's look too small. The 17's do look better though.

Actually those 20" rims looked better than most I have seen! Also its no wonder you cant get traction with your new wheels... you definitely need a rear tire that fits the rim better, those look very stretched.
Either way awesome car good job!

Imo put the 20's back on they looked great, the 17's were a major downgrade imo!!!

Wow. Definitely a mixed opinion crowd. Responses are definitely appreciated. The car doesnt seem too low for me honestly... im thinking of installing lt's in the future. But stockish is plenty of power for me...
