Should I roll on these or roll them right back out??

Hey everyone. I just wanted to take a minute of your time and get your quick 2 cents. It looks like everyone on this forum is very big on racing wheels and who can find the biggest lip possible......myself included. But I ran across this great deal on a set of 20 inch wheels that I just couldn't pass up. At first I thought....ehh...these are alright but maybe they would look better on a sedan? In any case, they are 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 and have a standard silver finish. What do you think?

Should I keep these wheels or should I sell them and look for something different? Thanks in advance everyone!

Do something different, dont be like everyone else. If you like them then put them on if not then sell them. Dont base what you like and what you dont like off of everyone elses opinions.

I have a feeling of which direction I want to go. I just wanted to get a few opinions before it do...but there is still a big question of drivability to consider as well. I have never driven on wheel THIS big before. Plus I am planning on installing coilovers. Can anyone offer me a little input here? Thanks again.

Roll them back.............

Those are some fat lookin wheels........any wheel you replace the OEM wheels
with should be sporty, slim and exciting. These wheels don't fall into any of
those areas.

Why not raise it up and mount the rims on one side,it just to get a feel? The pics look nice, but i must agree with you and gary that rims that big may not suit a "sports car." If talking pure looks that are unique and different go for it, but if you want to keep your ride and your performance you should sell them.

Either way, please post up some pics on my forums, www.teamsolo.net We have quite a few G's there.

definitely not my cup of tea.

while it's always nice to be "different," being different isn't always a good thing.

i hope that makes sense to you..

just my two cents..
