Don't take it seriously dude, he's probably just joking around.
But, yeah, looks nice!

Well, of course they're lower in order when ranking them in size. It all depends on how you see it; for example if you want best performance, I'm sure 21's aren't going to be your best choice.

"you can tell by the price......"
carlsson, bigger doesn't necessarily mean more expensive. some 20" wheels sell for less than some 18"s. my 20" lowenharts most likely cost more than those 21" wheels. besides the fact that i dont like those wheels, size-wise they don't even look any different than 20"s. keep this in mind next time. an acre in the middle of oregon doesn't cost the same as an acre in beverly hills.

i like those wheels - very nice. not sure that 21" isn't a tad too large for the car. 19" work for me, 20" are borderline large IMO.
what's the sidewall on that tire? -45 or something?
definitely a "no potholes" type of tire! wouldn't work here in beantown, that's for sure!
doody.

i dont understand how he thinks his lowenharts are worth more... maybe you payed more for them cuz you got jacked. lowenharts arent made in germany. they are japanese. and so are dronells. you suppose that your LD1s cost more, but they dont. lowenhart, racinghart, maya.... all japanese, all come from the same company.
btw... i use original 19" monoblock VIs on my car and that i know for a fact cost more than 20" LD1s. so sure i know that a smaller rim can cost more than a larger rim.

you are most likely rubbing because your tire or rim is too wide... the offset is wrong.. I have 20 inchers rims with the rear 10 inch wide... Yeah it used to rub too also when i owned 19 inch rims with 9.5 inch wide in the rear... Rolling in the fenders may not do the job, you might have to do some cutting of the fender on the inside cutting a portion of the rubbery material. After i did that, i rarley rub now with my 20's

Could you explain "offset" to me? What does this mean? Is the offset something that can be adjusted? I think it needs to be explained to the dealer.
