    I would do 18's or 19's, the bigger the wheel the more stress on the tranny. So keep that in mind.

    go 18's no bigger, you save money and beside the tranny will not last very long with those 20's. and dropping 2 grand on rims is just ****ing retard.

    Staggered rims is a pain in the ass, don't do it. I ditched my rear 7" rims and bought 2 more 8" rims so they wouldn't be staggered.

    if you spent more that $1k on rims I would say yes you retarded. I just dont understand why people would buy rims for their car that are more than what their car is worth, and besides he said it was 2 grand for the rims, thats not even including tires. He will be spending another grand on tires so thats why its ****ing retarded.

    i spent $1100 on wheels alone, no tires. i must be retarded.

    if you want to look good with a nice set of wheels, then you have to pay to play. go ahead and run your stock wheels, but we'll do it our way.

    ok thats fine, im just saying what I think. 20's are too big and can hurt you if your not careful and besides you cant beat the stock wheels weight with out spending alot money to do it

    You're car will probably be worth less.

    To each their own, if someone wants to waste 3k+ on wheels / tires, that's on them, why do you care?

    What if someone said the music you listen to is F'ing Retarted?

    You would hate the JDM world, where these people spend 4k+ On 17" wheels.

    My new wheels/tires will run me around $1200.. although, I was looking into a sick set of wheels for 2k, also 17's.
