Need some opinions here guys (and gals ). Most likely going with 20s. Why Platinum you ask, because I can most likely get them for very cheap...unless a Canadian buddy is interested in my proposition. Please vote for the best of those provided, then if you have a suggestion please feel free to post it as well. Many thanks.


Platinum Reflex


Platinum Sweetness


Platinum Ghensu


Platinum Warlord

 

i like the platnum warlords the most out of those rims, i've never even heard of platnum rims....***shrugs*** you'd think they wouldn't keep their finish as well as chrome or superfinish....unless by platnum you mean superfinish...cuz it does kinda look like that..

but yah...i like the last ones the most

 

Thanks for the reply Wiz. Platinum is made by the Ultra company which make the Ultra line, of course, as well as the Focal line. They used to make Arelli but I believe have discontinued it and incorporated it into the Platinum line.

 

I would say the Reflex's because they got a little bit of black in them and they just look the best to me but all of those would look good on your car

 

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to ask you a while back, what size are your tires?

 

I think that they are 245/35/20

i say think because the rims are in storage right know because of all the stupid snow and salt

 

See that's why you should move down to Texas. We were up to about 70 today. Just be ready for the 115 degree summers. Do you experience any rubbing?

 

Do I need 20x8.5 or can I go 20x9?

 

go with the 20x8.5's then you really shouldn't have any rubbing..you gotta be carefull on the width of the rim when you turn the front tire all the way over it may rub on the inside of the wheel well...i know thats not going to hurt anything but it gets annoying

 

I like the Ghensu. Second choice, the Platinum. My preference is for 18". My opinion is that 20" rims on a relatively "Small" vehicle just makes the wheel stand out waytoo much. When you look at the car, your eyes are drawn to the wheels, and thats all you see.Monte's are great looking cars. They have the lookof a well balanced vehicle, 20"rims in my opinionthrows this look off.Also, with 18's you avoid any of the steering geometry or rubbing you could experience with the 20's. Just my opinion, I know a lot of people think bigger is better but not my cup of tea.
