Default Franks monte on 20's :)

I finally got a chance to get some pics lol i decided to go with 20's , i almost bought a set of 18" Eagle 077's but after some inspection i noticed that one was cracked so that deal wasnt going to happen lol
These are 20x8.5 Devino Flawless wheels, i got a good deal on them with almost new 245-35-20 tires so yeaaa. originally off a lexus so they are 5x114.3 pattern haha i bought hub centric rings for them and my monte rides as smooth as ever
while i was at it i went ahead and repainted my brake calipers, this time with the brush on kit. also painted my brake rotors black :p

here's a few pics let me know what yall think ....







BEFORE


AFTER

Looks good - 20s fill the wheel wells perfectly. Maybe if the tires just had a little higher profile to them they would look a little better. I just don't like when there's not a somewhat beefy amount of rubber on the wheels - makes the wheels look a bit gaudy when they're really not.

Well that's the most important part. How much weight did those add?

congrats Frank, new wheels look sick, the tires IMO are too skinny, now you either need a drop or a beefier set of tires.
