Pictures with new Chrome 20s!
I finally got my new 20s in. They are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear wrapped in some beefy PS2s! They are a Mandrus 15 Spoke wheel. The weight is 1lb heavier than the factory wheels so not light by any means, but they look pretty good. I would like them to have a wider lip, but I'm starting to get used to them pretty quick. What do you guys think?

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure about them at first but everytime I see them I am liking them more and more.
I haven't really driven it hard yet since I have only had them on for 1/2 a day, but I do notice more road noise. I have a track day set up in June so then I'll really be able to test the handling of the car.

I'm soooooo over chrome -- It's totally played out. They look nice, but black centers would look better, IMO. The only people I see with chrome wheels nowadays are old grandpas and soccer moms driving around their Lexus SUV or Caddys. That or, the "cool guy" with the Tahoe with 22's...oh lord please save me!

They look pretty nice. I guess us "wheel freaks" just get so used to the looks of the 20x9 / 20x11 combo with that wicked 305 rear! lol
For the price point these wheels are a good choice. Enjoy them.

Enjoy once again

I think it looks bad-***. I want a set. How much did it set you back?
I'm not sure if I should get 19s or 20s.
Please let me know how the ride quality and grip under WOT changed.
That will be the decision factor for me.

With the TC OFF from a dead stop I have the tires spinning until 60-65 mph. I try to just feather the gas, but she just lights them up as if I was trying to do a huge burn out, it's just :v
