yeah the wheels are 20s, but if the car is still, they look kinda small cuz the spokes are inverted... but when rolling, u can tell they are pretty big.....
kit was bought on ebay with purge kit for $565 shipped

Car looks good, even better with bodykits. One thing I don't like is the muffler..... looks too fat, IMO. Nice car, anyhow.

Not a fan of TSW wheels, but I think 20's look fine. Any rim with inverted spokes and a fat lip will look smaller, but it still looks pretty good.

You have a great looking car. Everything was done with good taste. I must say for 20's those wheels really look good. The lip is huge! Whats the offset on those things?

nitrous solenoids are mounted right on my frame.... there are two threaded holes right where i decided to put them... ended up being very conveneint

Looks good. But if you get big wheels you need big brakes. Stockies won't cut it.

Man I love those rims. Your car looks hot. All you need now are some Brembos and DDEs. Have you dynoed or taken it to the track?

Looks real clean. Of course I agree with the bigger brakes but that is always the case with thin spoked wheels. I was going to buy 20s but everyone was all against it on the board and so I was reserved to getting 10s then I see your ride with the lip and inverted spokes and I am thinking I want 20s again.
I think it looks great. Can't wait to see it with the body kit.

Looks very very nice. Not trashy, ver subtle. Just rew remarks.

Rims that big will slow you down. every 1 lb on the wheel=8 lb on the curb weight of the car. Muffler could be smaller. Next time you take picture, drive it around the block to get rid of that "golden" rust on rotors. It really stands out. Otherwise great.

yeha hopefully my muffler wont stand out as much once i get my kit put on...
as for the wheels, i can tell they slow me down a lot, but with my 50 shot, i run about the same times as my friend who has an is300 manual, gutted cats, exhaust, and 85 shot..... so it's still fairly quick... dont really have a problem with that

The rims prolly look better in real life. I think the car will definitely look better with the kit cause it will make the car look a lil bit bigger.

wow those 20s really fill the huge wheelwells nicely...rims are hot...car is very nice..the stillen kit should cover up the exhaust a lil bit so thats cool...as for looks you should black out your headlights...get DDEs and black chrome your grill like you said..then it'll look realll hot...good job keep up the good work
