20" daytons

My brother had a set of 20x8 100 spoke chrome dayton knock offs with a 255/35R20 tire laying in my back yard off of his 92 lincon towncar. So I got curious and decided to bolt one up on my 87 IROC. lol. It didn't look that bad. But then again I would never drive around with daytons or anthing bigger then a 18" inch rim on there ether. I'm more of a 17" 5 spoke kind of guy. But I took a few pictures. They did fit on ther pretty good. It only rasied the car about an inch. And it would of tucked up under the finder well if I had the correct lug nuts. Anyways here's the pics. And yes I did put my stock IROC rims back on. Adam :-)

Wow havent seen some deeeeeeeeeeep dish dayyyyyyyyyyytons in a long time if you know what im sayin.

How did you get those to fit from a Lincoln? It just needs some 24k gold fender flares, a king air freshener in the back window, gold license plate bracket and some tint, and some metal flake to bring it back to the day when that was the style.

I think that looks ok compared to how ridickoulus SPINNERS look on todays cars.

Those accually look really sharp on your car, I like the style and if they were the right price I would most likely buy them because my rims arent so great(photoshoped into my sig).

Although the style isn't my cup of tea - Im surprised as to how well the size actually fits. Had I not known they were 20"s I would have guess that they were 19"s.

Wow those are some UGLY wheels. Daytons are very ugly on any car. Even lincolns and caddys. Man good idea you took those things off... YUCK.

It's possible to make those look real good, but in order to do that one would have to start with the wheels and then work with the rest of the car. I think most people do otherwise, work on the car and then get the rims.

Some chrome emblems, billet grill, chrome door handles and mirrors etc etc


I still haven't seen any car those look really good on though .. but I love the fit ... very very surprising

I didn't think this many people would like them. I do agree on how good they fit. I just don't care for the style. But then again there for sale for $400 bucks. They need a little work tough. I should buy them and pimp them out for a month then sell them. lol. But after I had them on the car. I just could not get over how well the fit. I think I might bump up to a 18" instead of the 17" maybe 19" when I do get a set of rims. So that way it will fill out the wheel well and I can shove more brakes under them also. Adam :-)

Why he gotta be black?


I would think it would be more of a sandy colored guy myself.

not trying to start anything but im black and i didnt see the need for all the stereotypes. i live in a small town in nc (mostly white) and their are more white kids with wheels like those than their are black kids. Not that i think that those wheels look cool on the car but i think that those kind of wheels have their place.

Not a wire wheel guy myself but I certainly would not disrespect someone for them. That sure looks a lot better than I thought it would. What's really surprising is how good the 20" tires fill up the well area.
