Cheap 20inch Rims

[theused084]

Hi,

I have a chance to get 20" Speedy Envy MKII wheels with tyres for really cheap, about 1100.

I just want to know, is it worth it in the long run if I do buy them, like will I have to get my guards rolled, the cost of tyres and any other problems I might get.

Also my car is a 1998 VT Commodore on King Spring Superlows.

What do you think?

Cheers

Yeah, good buy...

Problems:

Tyres expensive.... i got 19's and the cheapest tyre i would trust my life to is 200 bux

Coppers r gonna love u

Caus the tyre will be such a low profile it will wear more due to camber... GET A CAMBER KIT

Probably have to get the guards rolled, LHS rear in particular caus the overall wheel n tyre are alot bigger than stock... ALso this is dependant on the offset of the rim...

Offsets where covering in the VR/VS thread i think...

They will also raise your car... by alot... my 19's lifted my car heaps...

So to avoid looking like a tonka truck ur gonna wanna probably lower it abit more... THough ur ride quality is gonna go from bad to worse the loer u go due to the low profile...

NEWAYS, good luck with it...

I have no idea on offsets or what they mean but if the offset of the rims is 45 and a VT is 43. Are they going to fit without any major problems? How much is guard rolling?

Thanks

IMO they look great but for the money and effort to have them on a daily driver its not worth it. My mate has a patrol on 22" and its not comphy to drive in. You feel everything. On a weekend car for sure cause tyre wear will be massive. Maybe buy them and re sell them and get a good set of 18 / 19. Good luck

good buy for 1100! nice lookin rims too...
i pay 250 each for my 20" tyres, nankangs.. u might or might not need ur gaurds rolled, youll find out once there on... rolling them will be bout 50 - 70 per gaurd probably... might only need the rears done...
do u already get bad tyre wear as it is? if so you'll wana get a camber kit for sure... even if not youll probly want to get one anyways coz you'll wana keep the tyre purchasing to a minimum at 250 a pop! lol

goodluck with it mate...

BUY THEM, thats cheap as for a set, even if you dont put them on you could get way more than that for them if they are in good nick, and as fabs said you could get urself a nice set of 18s or somthin and have no worrys with em. But 20s are MASSIVE and will impress

Man for $1100 who cars, thats cheap as chips.
Roll the rear guards, get a camber kit and you'll be laughing. They will still be a 35 profile so the ride wont be that bad.

Just another question I've heard that I will have to change my front struts to coilovers is this true? Thanks

u wont need to change to coilovers, i got 20s on and ive got my stock struts in, no dramas....
