Bersaglio spoke
Same company as Lowenhart but not as expensive (I think they are all from the Hart wheels company).
Nice 3pc Wheel they have 18's, 19's and 20's
The 04 is a car to PIMP. It is not a ricer, so keep it classily.

I wouldn't go over the 18" size they have.
You'll not only slow the car down by going to 20", but you'll make the ride too harsh. And worst of all, it'll look just too ghetto and ridiculous.
Get some nice lightweight 18". This way, you'll still personalize your car, but not have to change tires and lightening up the unsprung weight, which will give you a bit better acceleration as well.

A don't forget to post the pictures of your car when those wheels get stolen too. 18's will look a whole lot better then.
No, the truth is, this wheel size fad that has come about in the past couple of years is out of hand.
It looks just...well...stupid to have too big of rims on a car.
Why would someone buy a rim the same size as stock you ask?
Well, because maybe it looks the best that way. Do you think designers and engineers just pull wheel sizes out of a hat. Don't you think they look at what the car looks like with 16's, 17's, etc etc??
The ghetto boys and "homies" think it's all about the wheels.
They're the same guys who wear the big thick gold rope chains around their neck and have the delusional belief that people think they look cool!
Nice rims aren't about the size.
I'm guessing you are young, when you get a bit older you'll realize that.

To each his own I have a friend with an '03 Altima with some chrome 20" rims and I think it looks great. I have also seen cars with nice 18" rims that looks just as good. Everyone has their own opinion of what looks the best so I'd say do what you think is the best. That photoshopped pic by Stealth, silver Max with 19" Italia Riva's, a different grille and ground effects is the best looking Max I've seen so far IMO. Everyone is entitled to their .02 cents, so I had to add mine

Large lips on FWD cars is ricer, silly and useless.

Well, I'm 31.
"get with the times"
Umm, if that means looking like I want to be a rap star or a homie from south of the border, I'll pass!
And, the 80's produced MUCH smarter people than they do now.
We had to do something the kids of today don't know how to do...that is research and LEARN a few things. Now, "kids" just punch a couple of keys and get everything off the internet. Hell, they just buy their research papers from that site that sells them. No wonder "kids" don't know much today.
You state, "don't you notice that every year cars are being made with bigger and bigger rims"
Well, let me inform you of something...THEY'RE ENGINEERED that way!!
Again, you "kids" don't seem to learn enough. Do you really think that the car manufacturers and engineers just say, "let's throw 18's on the car, because that's what looks bling bling?"
Well, by your response above is, my guess is...yes you do think that!
Hate to break it to you, but NO they don't.
The cars of the 80's or even 90's were engineered with 15" or 16" rims!
The cars of today that come with 17" or 18" were engineered for those sizes.
Are you keeping up? Hope so.
There is a bit of acceptable "play" there, but messing too much with tire/wheel sizes messes up the cars dynamics.
The additional weight, the additional rotational mass, the additional thrashing on the suspension, bushings, etc etc.
The extra work the brakes need to do to slow the car.
The additional effort the steering system needs to do in order to turn those larger wheels.
The handling of the car can be affected in a NEGATIVE way by this as well. Not too mention the car is now slower to accelerate, making the engine work harder as well.
So, for you "kids" who seem to think it's all about the "bling bling" maybe you should use your brain a bit first.
At least stickers on "ricers" cars are cheap, and people don't get shot for them.
You should also check with your car's manufacturer, like any other modding, you may very well be voiding the warranty on many parts of your car that weren't ENGINEERED to have those "dubs" on!
Yeah, the 80's are calling. But they asked for you, they want to knock some sense into you and the "kids" of today and they want to introduce you all to Vanity Anonymous!
Next, you're going to try to convince me that it's cool to have a $1,000 car with a $2,000 stereo system in it!

Driver72, I agree with u dude. This Bigger is better crap is out of hand. Especially when Bigger is just Bigger and not Better.

you guys gotta see this...davin wheels are the original wheels that spin...it is not a hubcap that spins(spintek)..they start at $5K each...i have seen one on sale for $11.5K for one...
you want to talk about accessory for a car...well their philosophy is a $90K car is an accesory for the rims...
you gotta love conspicuous consumption at its worst.
