Wassup guys, Im not really sure if i should put these on my MC or not, i took them off a 72’ because my dad didn’t like the ride quality so we put his originals back on. Don’t want to sell these though, so what you guys think? Also, they are 20s the rims i have on now are 18s

Personally not a fan on newer cars, but that's just me. Just doesnt fit well with the modern style IMO.

I like the look enough, but is the offset right? FWD cars should have a positive offset, RWD cars are a negative offset. People ignore this often, but it causes handling issues, vibrations and is hard on steering & suspension components

Personally, I think the ones you have on there now (assuming its the rear one) look 100x better.. Just not a fan of a ton of spokes like that.

Wondering , since you took them of a 1972 GM car you do realize the bolt pattern would be either 5x4 3/4 inch or 5x5 inch if they were on a full size car. They won't fit a 5x115 mm bolt pattern.

If they fit, I'd rock them. Not on my 96, but a different more stock W-body, absolutely.
