I'll be fine with 19" too, if I cannot find 20" with my budget!

Also, what's a good price for 20" with tires?

Then DEFINITELY check out the member classifieds - there are several vendors running specials right now and AcutePerformance can probably help you out too. Lots of cool wheels on the forum.

Hey royalflush. Good to see another NorCal member. I'm in San Jose as well. As Gene has stated, check out SonicMS in Mountain View. They did all the work on my current car as well as my previous 545. You don't necessarily have to buy from them but you can always go there to look at their selection and get some ideas of different wheels for your car. Even if you end up getting wheels elsewhere, they're a great shop for installation work too.

Let me know if you need any other suggestions for anything local. Hope to see you around soon.

Tony

Yeah, they do look nice. But it's too sporty lookin for me. I'm trying to find something that is in the middle.

I really like these, but damn they're a lil out of my budget.

I also like the dark grey/smoked looked. Seems like Asanti & Giovanna has them, but it's a lil too much $$$ for me!

Miro 935's PC'd in charcoal or matte black would look pretty good I think....

Hey EuroCarFan.. Nice ride bro! I like your mods!

Have you heard of Sleek Motoring in Mountain View? They post alot on Craigslist and they have pretty good varieties, but I never been there.

One question...

I actually know someone who is selling black 20" rims but it has the red trim paint...

Anybody know a good way to paint the trim black as well?

He's selling for $500, very good deal!

powdercoating vs painting would be a better option..

also...what wheels are you looking at/he selling?

I'm not sure what brand. All I know is that he bought the rims brand new for $1,100 for set of 4 with wheels included just about 5 months ago. I didn't get the complete details.. I wasnt interested then when he offered me, but I am now because I just realized it's veryyy cheap. I'm still not sure if it'll fit my e60. He has an 08 camry.

might went to get the wheels specs before you commit to anything...I highly doubt the specs would be similar...

post the info when you get it regarding those wheels if you need some help determining if they will work for your e60....
