  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

hated that the 5.0 rims arent an option and they are quite expensive to order from the dealer(about 800 a wheel..yeah i know)So gave myself an early birthday present..oh yeah..and removed the front plate..looks way better

spent 3 weeks looking around and settled on using tire rack as they ship very quickly compared to getting wheels from ebay..not a fan of chrome wheels and i wanted to have a contrast ..didnt want to go staggered,love the look, hate that you can't rotate.. so i took tire racks advice and used what they recommended, size is 255/35/20 i think..rims are verde axis,tires are OEM as they were the highest rated on tirerack

car feels tighter in the corners..it does transmit more noise into the cabin when u go over bumps but not enough to complain...db's with 18's @70 mph was 65..with the 20's only 68 (using a app on my S5)

He has AWD because they are the only ones with headlamp washers.

Please let us know what you are doing with the old wheels.
 
Looks very Dodge Challergeresque for lack of a better term.

Yes it's AWD..I'm not sure what i'm doing with the OEM's yet..We don't get enough snow here in Va to warrant the expense of getting some winter tires..so i'm not sure,for now they will be going onto a tirerack I ordered for my garage until i figure something out

Sorry, I'm not a fan of black wheels on luxury sedans.
 
i've done the murdered out look in my younger days, I felt the black was a nice subtle transition and gave the very business exterior a GT vibe..

and the wheels aren't that color of black anymore.. Wife kissed a curb so they are powdercoated a gloss black now..

OEM's are back on
