Be careful, you get what you pay for! Tires look OK, sorry thumbs down on the rims, look like Walmart specials...

I would stick with Hot 18's than cheap 20's any day...

I had those wheels for a minute.

They're typical Lowenhart LD1 knockoffs. There are much nicer choices out there that won't break the bank. Oh and 245/35/20 is the wheel size I'm running.

yeah becuase i have black headlight and taillights (covers) black tints. everyone i spoke with told me to go black. i was about to purchase spinners but didnt wanna be tacky. i think the black scheme would look good. THanx for the post guys. And as far as wanli i had them for 6 months went over 120 several times and no problems. Put them on the sidewalk by accident no problems. i cant complain. my friend has a alti with 20'z and he has those tires a little over a year so i dont think i ll have a problem. I see alot of people with these rims and i like the way they look. once again thank u and keep em coming your opinion matters to me

I've no experience with either Nankang or Wanli tires. IMO spend a little more and opt for the Toyo Proxes 4 or the Falken Azenis ST115 (check www.edgeracing.com). Well worth the money.

1. Wanli tires = junk. get some Toyo Proxes 4.

2. Those rims are really, really ugly....If you're gonna go with such big wheels, get something better looking - like the ones on Hamy's 5th gen.

3. Black wheels are fine, but get something with narrower spokes, and IMO not 20's...get some nice 18's that won't kill performance and will leave you with enough tire so you're not bending them in every NYC pothole.

4. You say "i was about to purchase spinners but didnt wanna be tacky." DO NOT EVER MENTION SPINNERS ON THIS FORUM - EVER! The rims you linked us to are almost as tacky as spinners, though...

Don't know your price range, but here a some more black rims...

I think these are awesome, but a little pricey

These would look great also and are about 300 bucks cheaper
