Default My New 20's on my White '08

Just got my new 20" Velocity 550's and tossed em on.
You can kinda see the billet grille too.
Blacked out windows match the rear.

thanks guys! the rims and tires came to about $1800 shipped but I got em for free...kinda... I build sites and worked on a site for a rim company and got them as payment

the pictures really dont do the grille justice because of the horizontal lines and pixels conflict. its way better in person. i also plan on dropping it but had to make sure the rims would play nicely on it, and they do.

thanks man...lol those bumper plugs are actually teflon (spelling) coaster feet for furniture on hardwood floors. They are self adhesive and are an exact match in color on the teflon side. i got them at Home Depot for like $3. i put em on a year ago and they are still perfect! the funny thing is, we found the package loose on one of the shelves and have never seen them again. we asked an associate where we could find more just in case they wouldnt fit or were not the right color and they had no idea.

to each their own, pictures dont do it justice and i dont like lots of chrome, but the contrast of the chrome and black fit well with the white and black of the car in person.

the grill do looks soo much better in person and if you paint it black that'll look sick

I agree with DAILYXB, powder coat that grille black and your good to go!! the billet actually has a really clean look to it and it matches well. you should think about getting the billet inserts for those side vents, it adds a really nice finish to your grill. good lookin ride though, cant complain about free rims!!!!

sorry for the late replies guys...

YES you definitely feel a difference in the ride. its stiffer and a bit bumpier.

no rubbing at all...actually have a ton of room left, i think i coulda went with 22's and been ok (minus a drop)

i DO wanna lower it 2 or 3 inches to close the tire gap.

i wanna get some inserts for my side mock-intakes. i will have to try and photoshop it first to see how it will look blacked out ;)
