20" Pentas w/ OE Brembos

Finally got my rims. Decided on the Axis Pentas.
I'm running 255/35 and 285/30 on Falken 452's. Car is not lowered...pretty much stock.

Hope the photos help others with their decisions. Enjoy the pictures.

Wow. That's beautiful. The exact same set up I want to. Love the rotors too. How does it handle compared to the oem wheels?

Give it a nice subtle drop and it'll look great

20" Pentas w/ OE Brembos

Thanks for the compliments.

I originally thought moving to 20's would really effect ride quality. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a little bumpier, but definitely worth the trade off in handling.

However, I did go with a setup with more tire (255/285). Roads in DC metro area can be tough. Note that the delta in wheel/tire diameter with the new fronts (vs. the old setup) is more than an inch (didn't expect that).

The cross-drilled rotors are a direct replacement from Brembo. I bought them from Import Replacement Parts (great prices, advertised thru G35Driver). I got a great deal on wheel/tire package as well. PM if you want the info (not too sure on forum rules).

Another FYI... while installing new wheels, I noticed the new wheel/tire setup is noticeably heavier from the orig. 18" setup (sorry I didn't weigh them). It may make a difference to some, but it works for me.
