I like the rims. Something looks weird with the rear. Get ready to be flamed because the majority of people won't like it.

You need wider tires in the rear. I wouldn't go near a curb with that combo, the sidewalls are stretched out too much, you have no protection. Not a fan of 20's either but hey to each his own. Nice rims though.

IMO too large. 18's at most. The tire is definitely too narrow in the rear.

I like them, if you lower the car it will look 10x better.

ya i'm sick of those rims , waaaaaaaaay over used, people not willing to take a chance or scared that people might not like them. i really dont see anything wrong with 20s but then again i am only 21 so maybe older f-boy owners cant get used to the big wheels, at least there not 20" lexani tin foil wheels lol

Yea those tires are the wrong size for those rims, I'm gonna guess that the rims are 9.5"-10" wide. If you can put 285's or 295's then you'll have a better look.

lol funny.

I like the wheel a lot. 20s arent for me but they look good. And like others have said, those rear tires need to be wider.
