Default New rims...

So I'm thinking about getting some new rims/tires for my baby.

Right now I'm rocking 20x8.5 Boss 328 Chrome, and Maxis Victra 255 35zr20 97w

http://www.bossmotorsports.com/custo...els.cfm?id=333

http://www.directbuytire.com/product-p/ma45103000.htm

The wheels retail for 300ish, tires for 130.
Rims (should be brand new, according to the dealer.)
And tires (according to dealer) should only have about 1000miles on them.

So basically, I'm curious as to what I'd be able to get for my tires/wheels.


From the short amount of time I've been looking at new tires, I've found these that I like.











What do you guys think would look best?
Or have any suggestions?
What sizes? 18"s? 19"s? Staggerd?

I'm lost!
I'm liking the machine finish more than the straight Chrome..

Oh and here's my baby.

If you're going the route of an expensive wheel, I'd certainly pick one that you could put a wider tire on than an 8.5" width. Also, I didn't see the offset listed. And they're 20's... ugghhhhh. i don't even like the lack of sidewall on my 18's... To each their own...

Those TSW's sure look great, but I'm thinking that option one would look better on your ride.

I would go with #1 or 3. Glad to see you are getting rid of the ones on the car.

Man you are not rockin them...they are rockin you, of any kind of performance!
BUT with a drop would look MUCH better...just a thought.
Personally with a pony I would go with a smaller wheel, say 17 or 18. Of the 3listed...call me crazy, but I would go with 2.

You're crazy haha. I guess I'd have to see 'em chopped on before I made a decision on them.

I'm a fan of the GT4s up there. I originally thought about putting a set on my stang before finding some more affordable take-off brembos.

No idea on the value of the other wheels though to be honest.

The boss wheels you are looking at look very similar to the ones you have now.

18's staggered.. or 20's. 19" are harder to find tires for. Funny, choices 1 and 2 are both in my sig. hmmm
