the 20" decision

the 20" decision

alright, this is unrelated to my rolla.. I've gotta 2002 Impala LS.. Black w/ tan leather... trying to decide on some rims.. i went to do some photoshopping but.... i took the pictures of my car at a very wrong angle, its too dark to take more pics, and i'm too lazy to find wheels at different angles.. anyways, lemme show ya some pics of what i'm looking at and lemme know what ya think...

here's my car



here's the wheels (so far)

Neeper N-5


Neeper Rize


Niche Rhine


Niche Roma


Niche F-18 Black


Fondmetal 720


MB Motoring Vapor




i'm personally feeling the N-5...
i had found some i really liked but they only fit RWD.. too bad..


anyways, gimme ur opinion

correction.. apparently those last wheels are available FWD.. hmmmm

personally, I've always loved the look of black against chrome ever since the porsche 911 in the early 80's, and of course knight rider.

F-18 Blacks all the way. Black on black + chrome deep dish = teh winnar!


otherwise I'd say go for the N-5 or the Rhine. (I like 5-spoke designs )

i like the:
neeper n-5, rize, mb motoring vapor, and f-18's

dude def balck on black... sexyness all the way

Black On Black Is Hot!

yeah...black on black action is sexay!! Cant wait to see it biotch!!! get um!

Niche F-18 Black
Niche Roma
N-5

you waste your money with the others. They prob cost like 500 a piece a bet too. i like 5-spoke rims also. And I love the crome lip with black. I really like crhome lip with the wheel the same color as the car. Now that is hot. metallic blue car wiht some pearl and a chrome lip......they would def. grab my attention

why not put it in the corolla.. i ve seen many ppl install it.. well in indonesia not here.

alright.. the prices...

the niche's are the neeper's are around $1600-$1700 a set (no tires, plus shipping) them sob's aren't cheap (hell, the tire i liked which was on the cheap end of 255-35-20's were still like $155 a tire, 3 dollars less than my 17" wheels)

the forte signs (the last wheel, black 6 spoke with polished centers on each spoke) were like, $830 shipped for a set. the mb vapors and the fondmetal 7200's are on discount tire direct's website, i forget exactly how much they are...

now here comes the decision.. i can either save up, put 20's and some eibach pro-kits, or, save up quite a bit longer, go with 20's and ride on air... hard choice since i'm already looking into getting a trenz billet grill, 8k or 12k HID's, and a GM Performance exhaust (its sad... $540 from the dealer for the factory made performance exhaust and the bracket kit for the second muffler, compared to about $1k for any other brand, and i don't think they come with the mounting...

not to mention i'm also interested in the impala SS spoiler (found them not too expensive so...) and the front lip extension available on the current impala LS's (just a nice lil front lip, matches everything nicely.)

Niche Roma or F18 black

one word pretty much sums it up...

OUCH.

F18's, but for that much i rather buy another used car lol

F18 or N5

go for the air ride

well dodo.. my wife rocks the corolla... she already curbed all 4 of my 17's (hence why its got 14" stocks on it again, i didn't want her to completely ruin them)...
plus even though i've got a tuner heart, i grew up with too much thug luvin big body whips ridin on dubz, slammed to the asphalt.. i could by me another car, but if i spend, we'll say, 5g's making my ride shimmer and shine, i sure as hell won't hafta pay more to my insurance guy every month.. and with the CRX i'm working on buying right now, its already got most of the basics i already want (motor swap, exhaust, headers, new brakes, new coilovers, new tokico struts) so all i'm doing is stickin my 17's on it, buying a body kit, repainting it, and maybe tint the windows...

i'd say save your money or spend it on something a little bit more useful. it's just going to look ghetto and people are going to laugh.

hah.. sorry, laughing at that statement.. not from the south are you? or from the ghetto...

no, and no, and i don't follow

For rims, Niche F-18 Black. IMO any of the others look like absolute shit.

I personally would go for the airbags. You're working on getting your tuner car (a nice CRX -get me some pics) so go with the lowrider next. Creature comforts. Air rides are fucking sweet, just stay the hell away from the hydro's. Neumatics are key.

agreed.

PM me the prices you have. i work for chebby - i might be able to get them cheaper.

hardly. i see a LOT of newer impalas with wheels similar to the ones he's shown here, and they DO look rather nice. hell, chevrolet offers similar aftermarket wheels out of its showrooms for their cars. just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean he can't.

Niche F-18 Black

get those, and get it staggered, 9.5-10 in the back with that offset

damn, 20's are even too big for my LS
