Aftermarket wheels?

[way2evil]

I think I found a set of wheels I like for my car.



They come in 20 or 22. I would have liked a 21 inch wheel so I could put lower profile tires on it and lower it. But I think I would have to stay with 20 and put the stock size tires on it. Does anyone know if a 22 will rub? I have a feeling it will, and is it safe to put that size rim on the AWD system?

I'm sorry I don't have any answers to your question, but that looks AMAZING, expecially if you have a black SHO with tint!

Thanks, I have a white SHO with tint and I think the white accents will really pop.

as for the AWD i believe from my speculations is that the drivetrain can handle 600 crank hp no problems, but i'm no super expert on that

Very nice!

What are the offsets on these wheels??? Do you know what they weigh & do they come in 18" size for our bolt pattern?

Also, if you don't mind.... how much???

They come in 20 and 22 from carid.com. It has you put in your car so I guess they are custom made to our bolt pattern? Price is $475 a wheel but I just found out that what I thought was white paint is actually chrome so I wont be getting these. Shame as they would look awesome...

I have purchased wood dash kits from Carid.... with no issues. The first took about a month to arrive, but was custom made... their supplier issue... Second was really quick. Had one piece that had a small defect and it was promptly replaced.

However.... $475. per wheel seems awfully high. My Breyton 19-10" for my G8 were under $325. and they came from Germany....(thru TireRack).

Wheels for SHO or Flex EcoBoost need to be a minimum of 40 offset with 8" wide rims (stock is 38) and 35 would probably be the ideal offset. If you go wider... need to use a program (available on line - offsets) to see what is ideal. Say you are going to 9" rims, the offset would be more like 40-42 to get the same outside fender clearance.... but you need to verify with an offset calculator.

These are only 18" and they're my winter wheels. I paid about $150/piece for these at Wheels Next. I'm just saying they're somewhat similar to what's above.

Look good! With a lowering kit they would look great!

Yea I saw that before but I would never order from a third party like CarID. Rather go straight to the manufacturer. thanks

These are Giovanna rims. Ever see a set of rims by a bigger company than Giovanna, say HRE or ADV1? About $1500 for one rim.

Those dont really look like the rims I'm looking at at all.

I was thinking about the same wheels on the recent Shelby Super Snakes. Here is the link http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/8s3z-1007-9.htm. I'm a fan on the multi-spoke look. Not sure if the stock 245/45-20 tires will fit these, but if they do then that would be awesome. Only problem would be the price though...
