probably overboard for a lot of you guys/gals, but still wanna hear the opinion on these rims. these rims are just for show purpose and i don't drive the car around that much. it is not complete just yet, the car itself will have a wide body (may be) body kit and it will be painted flat black.
Come on guys, he did say in the original post that these are for SHOW only, not for racing...
BTW, I agree with most here. Some 20's look okay, but for the most part, 19's are ideal for me. Too bad there isn't a big market for 19's...

i know those wheels are overboard but they do draw attention, negative and positive, but it is still attention, and where i am from and where the car eventually will be, those rims... i think people will like.

That doesn't really look that much worse than 20"s. Then again, I think 20"s look atrocious enough on these cars.
What I will say though, is that your front tires are way to skinny for the wheels you've got them mounted on, and the rears are only barely acceptable. If the widest point of your wheel/tire combination is the rim edge, and not the sidewall bulge, you don't have enough rubber on it. Every time I see that on a car the only thing I can think is "This idiot spent so much on putting ridiculously oversized wheels on his car, that he didn't have enough money left over for the right rubber."
I don't mean this to be personally insulting to you. But, that is my reaction and opinion. The design of the wheel, I actually kind of like though. I'd like to see it in a more reasonable size though.
