A bigger lip on the rears would look better. you'll prob need to contact the wheel manufacturer on offsets to clear the brembos, but an estimate would be like +15mm front for 8" and around +15 - +20 for 9" rears.

That's a very negative comment. I don't see any haters here. It's not like he even asked for an opinion on the wheels' looks, just for sizing info.

I have the D'Vinci spec sheet here and it shows 20,35,38,and 42 for the offsets of the LOX 20x8.5 wheel.

IMO I like that wheel. The pic in the brochure shows it on a slammed Impala (newer style) and it looks really good.

i'm not hating either. They're different in a good way. They look pretty heavy though.

<hr></blockquote>Don't act like there isn't a negative response everytime someone inquires about 20in. rims. First they're bling-bling, then they're pimp, then they're too heavy. Everyone has their opinion, and that's fine. I just fired a shot across the bow, you know, kinda like a starters pistol at a track meet. For anyone who doesn't agree, use the search function and see for yourself who's making "negative comments".

Re: Need help buying new 20's!

Those comments usually only show up when someone asks for an opinion on the wheels, or asks a performance-related question. I did say "usually" however.

And if you ask for an opinion.. be prepared for it not to match your own. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

But if you're just asking for technical details.. then there's no need for any opinions in the thread.

How about those whiny retards that comment on the .000001 loss in the quarter mile that comes with heavier rims such as 20's. Go speed racer, go!---> Not!
