I keep going back to your page here. I wonder how the Classics will look vs these LM's.. and debating if I want the brushed gold or go full polished. Any suggestions.. on a white 08?
These LM20, Classics, or SP20's in 19's.....

honestly, I do not know what the offset of the forgestars are, they were not stamped on the inside. Just know they were made to fit my car. Here is a closer pic so you can see how it was sitting. What would your guess be?
I think any of those choices would look great. I was looking at both the classics and SP20's before I bought these. Brushed gold...do it!

to each his own... i think the new wheels look much cleaner and the contrast looks nice with his side trim... for some reason matte black wheels always look just like they are covered with brake dust and the look has been overdone by everyone out there...
when i can save for new wheels... i will hopefully get some like ops

Although, since they're custom made, they could probably make them in 24" sizes if they really wanted to.

He meant to say LM20s or Classics in 18" or the SP20 in 19". Never have I seem them bigger than that. Wish they did.

Interesting, just my opinion I prefer the design and look mounted on your car of the old rims you had, however the silver/polished finish of the new rims is a nice contrast on your black vehicle

the main reason i bought these CCW's and got rid of the forgestars was that i wanted wheels that fit hub-centric, not a big fan of hub rings. i'm much more happy with the design and finish of the LM20's. Also, i think the car looks a lot better as a whole with the silver, if i kept black wheels i would need to get rid of all the chrome trim

I too am a big fan of hubcentric wheels as I've experienced problems with vibration in the past with aftermarket wheels requiring 'hub locators'.
And yes the silver looks alot better, if your old rims were silver or polished and hubcentric centre bores I'd say you would have kept them for sure
