Default Help me choose wheels 06 impala SS

These will be going on my blacked out 06 impala ss. I just need to make a decision on which ones to go with. They are about the same price and will both be 20s.

Option 1:

20x8 Kmc Rockstar 5x114.3 42mm offset



Option 2:

20x8.5 Boss 340 5x114.3 38mm offset

Remember that our bolt pattern is a 5-115. I know everyone says the 5-4.5 fits just fine. Pay attention to the offsets, the 5-4.5 bolt pattern in those wheels is more for a rear wheel drive vehicle. If it works, I would choose the rockstars. Nothing against the boss wheels.

Option 2, but I doubt it will have such a large lip in FWD offset.

The first ones look like rims that should be on a lifted truck with mud tires. IMO

These are terrible.

I would go with option 2. Option 1 has too much going on..

I agree with you on that one. I've seen rims very similar to those on Hummer H2s.

I vote Option 2, but in silver or chrome. Black IS my favorite color, but I've gotten to where I don't like the completely blacked-out look.

x2!


Also if you put those rims on, you'd have to move to Houston since we are the Big Ugly Rimmed Impala capitol of the world!! I've actually seen a few 06+ imps with those exact rims and the knock offs and all I can do is just be ashamed to drive an Impala.
