Thoughts on These Wheels...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-20-MACHI...item35b990b219

Anyone have these?

I an a big fan of the stock look but am thinking that the spokes might be a bit too skinny?

My other option is to get the aftermarket 18" chrome Iroc's and get the inserts painted or powder coated charcoal (has anyone done this?)

Thanks for the opinions.

These would look good if your ride is black. The thin spokes work well if you have nice disk brakes you can show off.

Go with 18's. They look awesome in 18 inch on these cars. Anything more than that and it starts becoming obvious they weren't "intended" for the car. That and 18's will probably be easier/more affordable for tires. That's just my guess, though.

I agree with you DelatElite, beyond 18", I think there is too much "wheel". But it's all about personal expression!

Re: Thoughts on These Wheels...

Thats the issue. These only come 20" or bigger...

I want an 18 x 9 or so Iroc replica wheel that has a machined face and painted inserts. Problem is EVERYTHING is chrome and i really dont want to put a ton of money and effort into refinishing a new wheel.

Cant some company just come out with a 18 or 19" Irco replica that is just that a true replica just bigger and wider. Rant over.
