New Wheels!

Picked up a set of Roush 20x9.5 chrome with 275/35 Sport Maxx tires. I was thinking of going black rims but this makes me realize how much I like the look of chrome, especially 5 spoke chrome on black!

Now I really need a drop and don't know what I'm going to go with. I really like the look and drop of the sportlines but think ultralites may be a better option for ground clearance and ride quality.

Also, I'm debating on what center caps to use. It's hard to tell in the pics but the right rear is actually a center from my brembo wheels and the other 3 are the Roush centers. I think I like the look of the brembo caps but can't decide. Anyway let me know what you think!

That's a great look. I wish I had gone for larger rims.
Although it's a very small detail and hard to get an accurate representation from the photos, I lean towards the Roush centers as they give the wheel a clean look.

Dam good lookin' car. Love 5 spokes and black on black would have been too much, for me.

Your new wheels w/the OE chrome accents on that car is very sharp. I like the chrome centers, too.

Your first shot is almost my favorite angle on the car, which is about half way between where you were standing and straight on.

I say the Brembo center caps look best imho.
As for the springs I think the Sportlines are too slammed......I had the FRPP Psprings with my stock tires and it looked great, now that I have changed the tires/wheels to a lower profile I will be going with the UltraLite springs. I think any lower and it woudl not look right to me.
Either way the car LOOKS GREAT overall! good job.

Black centers set it off better.

Brembo centers get my vote since your car is black.
