I am in the process of purchasing a set of these rims, what do you think? I can go 18's and reuse my BFG's or spring for 20's? Lay it on people ....................

Never been a fan of rims with the nipples/studs/rivets that ring the wheel. Looks like keeping them pristinely clean would be a pain in the ass. I'm generally a big fan of the "5 spoke" look, so I like that part of them.

I also think that 20's would look better. I do understand, from a budget aspect, that keeping your 18" tires might work better for you.

Split the difference. 18s in the front and 20s out back.

I know a couple guys running the RAXors and they look good on the car. I think the 18/20 combo is going to look funky. And only you can decide what the right size for you is.

I'm not a big fan of the rivit look either other than that I like the wheels and not a big fan of 2 different size wheels then you can't rotate them. I would stick with the 18's all around.

To keep the ride comfort i would stick with 18's. For looks you could fit 20's without a problem. The rims are cool American racing has a cool selection of rims but if you are interested you should check out my web site @ www.WHOCARES.com we have lots of links to many rim dealers including chip foose,Boyd cottington,Dub and many others.

hey Showya, I ran 20's on mine prior to lowering it and the car doesn't handle the added weight very well. at Freeway speeds it hops around on the road with the factory dampners.

This was fixed by lowering the car and switching out the factory dampners for D-Spec shocks. Now it handles better that it ever did on 18's.
