Default New wheel pics

Here are the new wheels and i've already made a couple of mistakes.
-First off, as a newbie, i made the mistake of putting to low of profile on the rim, i thought that they were going to be a little thicker. It doesn't look bad but i've learned for the next time.
-i broke the center cap for the front wheels on the install, so now i gotta find new ones- (not really a big deal)
-And the clincher is, the second time i drove the car (put them on last night), i made a u-turn and already rimmed the curb. oh well, such is life.

Here's the pic of my all of a sudden g-ride

I agree with waiting, the lo pros look great. Is your car lowered? Where did you get these wheels? Man, I love 'em!

Are you going to upgrade your brakes? That's a big-a$$ rim and will put undue stress on stock brakes.

I like em a lot...good choice.

Amystery2u brings up a good point though....should 20"s have bigger breaks? makes sense to me. I have bid in on ebay for a set so would be good to know

It's lowered w/ the Steeda sport springs. About 1.5 in the back and 1 in the front. I bought'em at a place called motorsport-techdotcom. i had the absolute worst experience in dealing w/ this vendor. Talk about a customer nightmare. If you or anyone plans on buying from them i like to share w/ you my story.

hmmm... i didn't even think about that. Do you think i need them yet? Do you know off the top of your head how much it'd be for a decent set of brakes?
