Ok, keep in mind my car is filthy and its gloomy outside so the pics honestly do NOT do them justice. It looks way better in person. I will try to get some good clean pics soon.

Not to hate on the rims at all, look great just not my preference.

Why did you buy replicas? You could have gotten FRPP wheels in a set for roughly the same price as those. Like I said, not dogging your wheels, I just don't understand the replica trend is all.

I'd only buy FRPP, CCW or HRE's, but to each his own

No one else makes a 20" FR500..... What is wrong with replicas? I daily drive the car and don't road race it or do anything all that special with it. I got buddies running replicas who have never had a problem as well as MANY ppl in here! Also any FRPP wheel is WAY WAY more than what I paid.

Not saying anything is wrong with Replicas.......If you wanted 20's then FRPP was probably not your best choice.

Those look way better than the stockers, they aren't stupid heavy, and you didn't have to have an Obama bail out to afford them. I'd rock those in a heartbeat. I know you said you had no plans to lower it, but I think a modest drop would look great. Congrats and post more pics.

Yeah, will attempt the drop later but in person it doesn't look as bad as the photos make it which is strange. I like the aluminum part and had thought about doing a polish job on it. Hopefully with the 295/35r20 rear tires I can still clear a BMR spring.

I think it looks great! Definitely needs a drop. It will look even better. Thanks for the pics now I know what my car will look like with those wheels. Still debating between that color or machined..either way they are coming soon...:beer::rockon:

Yup, I was looking at machined also.. I saw a pic of a white one online and it kinda looked plain to me. Again, I am learning you really need to see wheels in person to judge them.

What size Invo's did you use up front? a rear shot of the car would be nice to see the wide tires and how close it comes to the fender.

Looks good man! I had checked those out also. I ended up choosing the anthracite based off how the brembo's looked on the car. I just liked the color. The Black FR500 looks damn good too!

How much drop is on teh Roush spring and how is your ride? That doesn't look as low as the others I have seen and I like that.
