Default New Wheels

Hi guys, I recently damaged one of my 20 inch American Racing Rims. The specs for the wheels were 24mm offset/20x9 rim/5.114 bolt pattern... they're silver, but the factory that sold me them has discontinued making these rims. I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions as to what else I could put on my wheels. Feedback ASAP would be GREATLY appreciated, I have to order new rims TODAY. Thanks

I need 20'' rims to go with my wheels... although they do look nice. I have an 07 gt. I'm looking for a chrome finish.

20'' wheels are too big for my taste. Might try the s197 section since it's a 07.

*You need 20'' wheels to go with your tires* I assume that's what you mean.

Send the wheel to weldcraft, along with another one, and have the one fixed and then have both of them widened to at least 10" wide.

They look better... a lot better. You can also put a wider tire on when it's time for new tires and get better performance out of the car.
