my wheels

found a link to my exact wheels i bought a couple years ago for over 1G i believe..they're on sale at a great price, i know they're not every1's cup of tea but for anybody looking for an affordable way to get 20" rims that are black this is a great option IMHO

I don't get what you're sayin?

For $750 you could get a nice set of used wheels. I guess if you wanna buy new aight, but if I were buying new I'd rather save up and buy something worth it.

i think is smarter then spending a fortune on OEM wheels if you ask me, i see people spending close to a $1000 or more on coupe 19s or g37 stocks, a few members have PMed me asking me what kind of rims i have so i posted the link to whoever is interested

if i had the money right now i would buy these

A lot of guys want a bit of performance out of their car, which is why they pick 19" Rays.

I bet your cars a slug since your wheels weigh in just under 40 pounds a piece.

Rays are a great deal, they are forged wheels that weigh 19 pounds. $1000 is nothing for them.

looks better if you left the window trim chrome and lower it, the handles can stay black though

i'm gonna lower it very soon with either tein H techs or skunk 2, i'm going for the blackout look so another one of my priorities is to powdercoat the lip in the rims gloss black

i wouldnt mind a bigger drop but i'm not trying to deal with camber issues and extra money on camber kits, i think the H tech drop will be good enough without having to deal with anything else

1/4 mile will tell you MUCH different.

I beat cars all the time.. they just don't know we're racing.

bahahahaha most guys on here are looking for performance and the weight of 20's even 19's will slow your car down over stock, yeah your car will look sick but you'll also loose a couple tenths of a second to look that way. not worth it imo

Car looks good. I thinks some better pics after a good buffing would help.
