Oh wow nice, that would be awesome. I mean i'm not really set on size 20 inch rims. but those are the only size the replica ss rims come in. But it would be nice knowing the tires would fit. I just hope the tires are durable.

I Talked to my buddy and he just said he found the best deal off a random site and they price matched them. You can essentially do it with any wheel they offer. Yea, if you want SS replicas those are the only sizes they come in. About the tires, I just went by what was available and looked up the expected life and got him the highest life ones

You can always check local tire shops and Tirerack.com as well.

Another option is to buy a used set in good condition with tires and have them powder coated black. Then they will look and feel new and you could save a couple hundred dollars from buying new. Lots of options to get what you want!

That's also a good idea. I feel like people around here like to rip each other off a lot. I actually just talked to an agent from Discount tires and he said that if i had all four tires as 275/40/20 that the front tires would rub and aren't recommended, yet i see alot of forum users say they don't have problems.

275/40/20's on all 4 corners.. no rubbing at all. The guy you talked to at discount tire doesn't know what he's talking about. I bought my tires/wheels from discount tire from a Camaro5 member who works there. Also, a LOT of guys are running 20x9 rims and 275/40/20 tires on all 4 corners and no rubbing. I bought BFG G-Force Comp2's for shoes. I got a great deal on the rims... If you can get them down to $150 or less per rim, it's way cheaper than even buying used rims and having them powdercoated.

Edit: I tried to find the weight of made in China Replica Alloys. Only thing I could find was a shipping weight on Amazon's site of 15.7 lbs. WOW, don't see how they could be almost half the weight of the OEM wheels (20x9=32.36 lbs.) and be anywhere near the strength. May want to check out the site link below as well. The-truth-about-replica-wheels-and-why-OEM-is-better Edit 2: From link above. IF they are that much lighter, this may explain it: "Myth: Replica wheels are just as strong as the factory original wheels. Truth: Replica wheels are made using the cheapest manufacturing method available (gravity casting). This is when molten aluminum is simply poured into a mold and allowed to cool off. This method results in a wheel that has lesser density aluminum, since no pressure is applied (most factory wheels use a what's called low pressure casting method). What this really means is that the replica wheels are much more likely to get bent or cracked, since they are made from much weaker, more porous material. We have seen this happen over and over again." Last edited by MLL67RSSS; 01-04-2013 at 11:21 PM. |
