Opinions

I posted this on the 6th gen boards and it seems nobody likes any of them. Wanted to know your thoughts. I like the more VIP looks rather than something sporty.

So in my search for rims i have narrowed my choices down to about 3. Here are renderings on what my car will look like with a small drop and each set of rims. Looking for other people opinions, i personally like the Black Widows, but they only come in a 20x7.5. Go go gadget photoshop!

I'm open to other options but i can't find anything in the $1500 range with a 4" lip which is what i really want... I may be able to pull off a 20x10 with the sport max which will make roughly a 4" lip. We're going to test it tomorrow with someone else's sportsmax rims.

Sport Max 006


Black Ice - Torment


Black Ice - Black Widow

I'm not really fond of any of them, but I like the first ones the best out of the rest.

none of the above. i would ride stock before i spent money on any of that but if i had to choose it would be the (ugh) sportmax. just for the record, there is nothing vip about any of those. personally, i would look for some quality used wheels or save up some more money.

We put on a Sportsmax 006 today with a red lip. The wheel was a 20x10 with a 25 offset. It seems to fit but i will now need to roll my wheelwell. Nobody around here know's how to do it...
I like the way it looks, i would get a crome finished lip though, not the red one since it doesnt really match anything on my car.

Roll the wheel well? You mean reshap the metal to fit the wheel when it moves up and down? Come on man, if it takes that kind of work are you sure you want to do all that for a set of stiff wheels?

rolling the fenders is basically standard practice if you want wheels with any resemblance of fitment,
