please take the V badges off the car when you put those wheels on, sorry but it just doesn't deserve them with those wheels. can't imagine them looking good but hey i hope they do for you.

 

We all have our opinions, just like you, only difference is I'm right (j/k). Like I said above, it's his (your) car, do what you want with it.

BTW, on the track after a few weekends I nearly delaminated my RT-615's, so they are a very good street tire, but not so great at the track.

lol

Oh sweet, I hope you got some neon underglows too.

 

simple!!! Show me some 20" rims made for the track! Then show me some 19" rims made for the track! the number of 19" rims that are track ready are far more then 20" rims... besides I can also provide about a hundred songs dedicated to the 20" rims....

 

there isnt a track within 500 miles of here, so needless to say, i really dont need a track setup, mostly just like looks, hmm, underglo? now theres an idea, jk,,jk

 

I have no problem with 20's. The size of the wheel does not have anything to do with if it's "blinged out". It is the design of that wheel posted earlier. I think it is going to look like every other random car around here that people buy and slap some wheels on (Chrysler 300's, Magnums, Chargers etc.).

But, I also understand that people like what they like. I say get whatever you think that looks good, to hell with everyone else. Our opionions on YOUR car are not worth a velvet painting on a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on.

Many people are reviled by TTII's on F-bodies, but I wanted them ever since I was a kid. So, when I finally got a car, I put some on.

 

The ZR1 has 19/20 setup, but needed to accomodate the huge brakes. With that said, IMO, your V should either be all about speed or bling, and the 20s do take away from its performance, and its intent to be a performance sedan. Then again, paint it orange and put faux side vents on it, its your car, enjoy it in the way you want.

 

I agree with Hartman V here. Due to our backspacing, trailing arm placement, and huge Brembo brakes, nobody gets a large lip on wheels that will actually fit the Vs correctly. I could be wrong, but my guess is that you might end up with 2.5"-3" lip max. I would be very picky when you test fit those wheels because I don't think you are going to end up with what you really wanted. I am just trying to provide some information due to experiences and other people's experiences, not trying to flame.

Also, don't worry about the people taking crap about the 20" wheels. Do whatever floats your boat. While that size is not for me, I have seen a lot of Vs with 20s that do look really good.

 

Trukk- I agree your opinions are right! Actually I try to read every post you make because it seems so well informed J/K but I do respect your input.

Adaniel?- Do you even own a V yet to be commenting on others?

Now, to eat crow, I have to agree with pretty much everyones post about the current style of wheel the op has selected. No harsh feelings but on this vehicle you really need to invest if you want wheels, especially 20". You need to look at forged custom wheels, there a ton of quality companies out there. Just my opinion.

Sorry to thread jack but Trukk so you do like the RT's on the street? Looking for any feedback on these as this tire is becoming popular.

how come you don't mention portholes in your list of mods??

 

I'm on my third set of Falken Azenis RT-615's. IMHO they are an amazing tire for the level or performance that you get at that particular price point. Like I said, they aren't the greatest for the track (on a heavy car like ours). If you get the same size on all 4 corners, then you can rotate them, and they could be used for light track duty. Are they as good as PS2's, or RE-01R's?, definately not, but they cost a LOT less. They are very sticky (more so than the F1SC's that came with the car originally, and those were damned sticky), and are adequate in the rain (F1SC's were a serious white knuckle affair in the rain), and can't be beat at their price point.

Maybe because I don't have them on my car anymore. See if you can find my post about it over at the other forum.
