My Ride: 2007 custom Range Rover, 2005 745li, FULL custom 1950 mercury, chopped and flame throwers, 1930 model A rat rod, nasty little bastard!!
soon to be custom bmw 550 all white and black.
ok, so ordered some stuff from Trinity this week and gonna order wheels nxt week. either miros 935s or velocity v10s...big ? is 19s or 20s.
i am dropping the car on hr springs and its already sports package, i just did black roof this weekend and black grill and doing black rims....want to do 245 35 front 285 30 rear...
i always 295 25 rear on my lowered 745 and 750, and always 22x10s staggered..
but this car is so much smaller,, would handling be better with a 19? seems the wheel well is large for a 19 and a 20 looks better...
opinions?
thanks

Yes I most def agree with 20s, but alot of people have been pushing me to 19s...
and i would like to buy those rims off you DRANGER, but i dont want that lip anymore..i want to do a more flatt black more spoked euro look...like the miro or even v10s..
i have always done deep lipped staggered rims....just looking for a change.
they are really nice tho, and the bonus is i could use that spoiler...hahha
anyone gota white rear spoiler? i need it!!

I think 20''s will give you a liiiil more of a custom look, and the 19''s will look more conservative and stock. I have some 20'' asanti 116's black/chrome lip new tires, that Im probly selling , just putting that out there.

Small world. I was just in Scottsdale (at the Phoenecian) for the last 3 days. Given the climate of where you live, I'd get 20s. The potholes can't be too bad in the Phoenix area, can they? If you can afford it, I'd go for Forged wheels and not cast ones so that they are lighter and stronger.
as for potholes, its too hot to have potholes, our streets are really good actually...

Given that your streets are good, why not get 20s? Just, if you can spring for them, get a good set of forged wheels to keep the unsprung weight to a minimum.
