Finally pulled the trigger...

So this past weekend I finally pulled the trigger and got a set of 20"s. I live in NYC so I have been very reluctant to get larger wheels because of the potholes......but it was about time to upgrade!

I decided to go with the Axis Shine - 20x9F +15, 20x10R +20 on 245/35/20F and 275/30/20 Vredestein Ultra C's...Keep in mind I just went from the stock 17's to these so the difference is pretty big.

Car needs a wash but it was raining...will post better pics after a detail...

Any guys with Axis wheels or Vredestein tires let me know what your experience has been...how strong the wheels are, performance of the tires, etc...this is my first set of wheels. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks.

It looks great! Do you have a picture from the sides to see how flushed they are especially the +15 offset infront...

Wheels look good. They make your brakes look tiny though.
