Default RE:New 20 inch Rims on tonight

I love them 245/35/20 Falken tires and 20 x 8.5 DRIV (NICHE) GT rims. Any one who says the ride is harder is on crack; I think it's way better then the factory ones.

Love em or hate them don't hate the playa hate the game

Haha. I agree, Buffalo. I'm in Missouri, and it may not be snowing, but it's 13 degrees right now! And Sunday it's supposed to be NINE! My garage is full of stuff from our recent move, so I can't even get the poor Monte in to keep her warm. Let alone work on the CAI without freezing my fingertips off.

I hear ya! It was 10* out with negative wind chills when I installed my most recent HID kit. When I installed the new headunit, at least I could sit in the preheated car.

When I got the 18s for my 02 GT I knew they were a great choice. I added Pontiac black arrowheads to the centers but you cant see them form this pic.



.......Then I saw Pontiac offer the same style rims on the Solstice through the dealers



Yes you did well, I like Black more, but still you are on the right track, nice work!

They look good and they do a good job at showing off the brakes!

Those ones won't, the Solstice is RWD.

The rims look very good on your car. I'm glad you went with an 8.5 rim and a 245 tire.

BTW: your tips look great tucked up like that!

Well I thought 245 around I would not have any clearance issues in the rear. I do wish I would have went with 255 in the front. From a launch I am suprised how easy the car rips these tires up. Going to try and post a video soon on youtube and link it for you guys. I would recommend any day to purchase the wheels from kxwheels.com these guys were awesome to deal with, quick shipping, the rims were also packaged really good so they werent banged up durning shipping. The rims,tires,chrome valve stems,shipped and gst was 2100 all in.
