Well since you asked... I *almost like it*, key word almost.


Clean car and I really like the style of the wheels. Good choice! *but* the rims are too big and make the car look guetto, so it really works against it. Another thing if you are going to go with wheels any bigger than 18's you really need to upgrade the brakes to a bigger size as well. As it tends to look very silly having this tiny little brake disk.


I actually like FD's with 19's but the 20's is just over the top IMO. But hey it's your ride and as long as you like it is all that matters.

I totally agree with Montego - It makes it look like a toy car.

You need more drop to pull off those 20s right.

Fikse and BBS called. They want their wheel designs back.

They wheels will look much better once i have my sanai side skirts and rears on so the body drops down more...these we test fitted on and they look amazing

they actually arent like either fikse or bbs
they are a mesh style rim obviously lol but these are for a more classy look than the bbs and fikse which are clear cut racing wheels
the design is beautiful giving a more classy show car look with racing influence
2 different classes of wheels

One word on the 20's: DONK

IMHO bigger is not always better, performance or looks.

450RWHP is close to highest I've seen on the BNR's and you say you are gonna do it sequentially? You throw that out there like it's done everyday... So whats your plan on controlling the boost transition?

The thing that most people who want the "Baller" look seem to forget is that the size and weight of these "BLING" wheels adversly affect the handling..acceleration.. and braking of their cars. It makes everything worse and makes NO sense to do on a sports car...
Just my .002 cents..

I think there is an HRE with the same design as a BBS too and Fikse owes theirs to BBS, in all reality so does CCW...
