Need Help Fast!! 20" Sevas Forged R5s are Here!

I have a 2005 OB 5at Coupe. I just recieved my R5s!!! OMFG they are sexy!!!
I want to know if anyone can help me find pics of G35s on 20s WITHOUT a drop!!! I've seen plenty with drops, but I am having a hard time looking for ones without suspension added. I want to throw my wheels on, but not if its going to look like an SUV with a large gap between the wheel well and tire.
Otherwise I will wait for my suspension to come in.
I know search search search, but i cant find what im looking for! :/
thanks guys,
Joey

Just put em on, since they're 20's the wheel gap will fill up quite a bit and wont look half as bad as 18's or 19's. Then when you get your suspension in, they'll look even better!

Just make sure you have the right tire sizes.

Here is my 03 w/ 20" Sevas no suspension work.

feels like you're in an suv when you first put them on. i'd recommend a mild drop.

WOWOWOWOWOOW Not only did UPS damage the wheel, I think because of the one layer of bubble wrap.. but THEY DONT !$@#ING FIT MY CAR! The center bore is too small on the wheel. I called sevas and they are having me ship them the bad wheels and shipping me new ones when ups picks up the bad ones. They told me " Oh man I've never had this problem before, the forging process must have been a 1mm off." Like I care what the problem is, get me wheels that fit!!!! Sorry im just frustrated

Well that sucks. So you're saying your wheels do not need a hub centric ring and still do not fit? If it comes with a ring but the ring doesn't fit, sometimes it's the rust on the hub that needs a light sanding to clean up the area. It's hard to believe a vendor would ship you something with such a strange defect and not fit.

I just got my Sevas 3 piece also and they fit awesome on the hub. I just posted pictures in the general section. The customer service from them has been beyond good so maybe you should call them and see what they tell you.

Yah they said the forging on my wheel was slighly off. and are sending me a new set tomorrow.. I hope. Sevas customer service is amazing. Wheelsdirectonline can suck mah bawls. Chris from wheels direct is a liar, but John from their shipping dept is good. Overall, Its disappointing, but in the end I hope all pays off with some sick rims.
