hi fellow members,
after researching for a couple of days i kept coming back to the same rims " velocity-motoring",of coarse if you want to spend a boat load of money i would probably go with Maya Stms but i wanted to keep wheels and tires under K that was my mission. i searched and searched and i came to a conclusion the for the money velocity-motoring wheels are the best. they will give the look i wanted without dipping too much in my pocket.
so i opted for set of 20x8.5s. the wheels arrived and they look amazing on the car nice hyper black finish. wrapped a set of Nitto rubbers around them and there you go. but I'm curious the front end looks lowered and i haven't lowered the car at all as you can see in the picture. the car does have sports package on it so i would assume that is the reason. the only thing i wish i had is a wider rear wheels and staggered.
by the way many thanks to nick at JLEVI he was great. well take a look and let me now what you guys think?

Looking good ...it's probably just the lighting - but they look polished in your pics? Is the hyperblack like a black chrome
