Default Check out my new wheels

They are 20x8.5 r1 racing drifts with nitto nt555 255/35/zr20 It always sat to low in the rear its just more noticable now so im planning on gettinga set of eibach spings to help level it out and drop it down a bit.

I got them from a company in florida called Automotoring and they were $1800 shipped mounted and balanced with lugnuts. They werent the cheapest but I really like them. They had been on backorder for a month and they come up with this set a week ago but they seem to be kinda hard to get right now. But their website is www.automotoring.com they have a pretty good selection but they mostly sell to businesses not to individules. www.wheelsnext.com has all of their wheels though.

Yep. You got it goin'-on! Sweet. Drastically, so! A combined look of elegance and anger. A definite high-class look with an individuality all its own. I absolutely love the color. It reminds me of a pretty exclusive purple GM put on late 60's 'Vettes and Goats. The GM Paint Code is: M-1 They called it: Plum Mist -or- Royal Plum Mist. They added metallic to it when they blew it on the 66-'n-67 GTO's. You got yourself a beauty. If I hang-on to my Monte long enough to need it painted; I'm getting it done in Royal Plum Mist Metallic. Those wheels are some serious kick-azz too!

It handles pretty well and it doesnt ride much rougher than the stock wheels. I thought it would be worse wit such a short sidewall but it it actually really decent. The color on the car is a dark toredor red but i repainted it a few monthes ago and used a little differnt metallic in the color which gave it a deeper red look and a little cleaner looking than the original color. The red vehichel in the background is a 1935 dodge pickup. It was my grandpa's and he passed away a while ago we inherited it.

Those look great. Normally I am not a fan of 20's and up, but that looks great.
