Thoughts on ELITE CARNAL BLACK? 20" rims

Hello hello,

Right now I am sporting some stock rims and have been searching around for some great looking black rims with a chrome lip. One I have had my eye on is the 20" elite carnal black inserts.

Only thing that I don't like about it is there is too much going on, but I got over that and think they look good.

The price is good $1100 for a set.

^I'm sure the price has alot to do with his choice. Those used wheels are 2.5 times the price of the ones he listed. That being said, he still shouldnt buy the ones he posted; save more money and buy something that isnt vomit-inducing.

Those are terrible. In that $$ range I'd recommend a set of OEM Rays 19s.

Thank you for the reply's! Yep first time poster, long time lurker.

At my first initial look at these wheels I thought they had too much going on but they started to grow on me.

If it was up to you, from the website, which one would you pick?

You can obviously see my choice above, pros or cons please!

Thank you in advance!

Here is a great set of black rims for the price. They've been for sale for a while so you might even be able to talk him down a little. 5zigen makes solid wheels, you won't be disappointed.

^^ those 5zigens are good if he has a sedan, the offsets would be fine for it, but if he has a coupe, then no way.
