What do you think?

The wheels are SSR AGLE Minervas 20x9(f) 20x10(r) offset +24 in SMC. I'm getting these for a good price and was wondering what you guys think. I'm not a big fan of bling-bling wheels, but I think these look good especially with the big lips. Sorry for the odd test fit, but we didn't want to risk damaging the wheels from mounting tires if I didn't like the look. The 1st pic has my current wheel in the front for a comparison. What do you guys think?

There are plastic ramps under the cardboard. The owner of the wheels didn't want to risk mounting the tires and damaging the wheels. The tires he had for the rear were too small. I think the size was 255 30 he wanted the stretched tire look on a 350z.

They look pretty cool, looks similar to Amistad C wheels. Think they would look hot on darker cars.

These seem lighter than my 19's to me. I think the weight comes from the 20in tires.

Just like you, i am not a big fun of chrome...but those wheels look awsome on your car. It brings out the bright silver of your car and makes it stand out for sure.

You got my vote...get them.

How much are paying for them? and where can I get a set like that?
