Default Help on new wheels, that suit the Cervini C500 kit

Hi, My wheels got completely trashed over the winter season by the salt on the roads etc... powder coating is flaking, the nice polished finish is badly oxidized etc. Plus I also need to get some new tires. (Really not worried about weight etc but would like to keep the price down) I'll be keeping my current wheels for winter use!

What are peoples opinions which they think look good on the C500 CERVINI body kit (as seen in my sig)

Size wheel:

20x8 or 8.5 front
20x10 rear

Tire size:

255/35/20 front
275/35/20 rear (I have these sizes currently)

I have been looking at Nitto Invo tires

I have seen these, they come in chrome and black





I like the deep dish look! However, I do like these:



Never heard of the tire brand?

Thanks everyone who helps me out! You

Trust me, you don't want these, they are shagged!! I may get them cleaned up and just use them for winter, especially if I'm in the market for new summer wheels!

I'm just ready for a new look!

Thanks for the interest though!

I like the last two wheels. The chrome and the last one are just sexy. Does that price include the rims and tires? If so, that is one heck of a steal! I haven't priced tires in a while, but the last set I got for my truck around 5 years ago were $700 and that was just the tires. Even if those tires are crap, you can wear them out and get some new ones down the road. Summer tires are not such a big deal as winter tires. Dry weather is easier to deal with than wet weather.

Thanks Chronos and Pascal! I really like the last one, even though it is not deep dish! Looks like it would be a hell of a lot easier to clean as well! I like the idea of giving the car a very different look as well.

It's hard to find a wheel that compliments the aggressive styling of the Cervini look. I think many wheels seem to get "lost" if the look of the wheel isn't pretty bold and striking.

Good luck and keep us posted.
