Nice. Those remind me of my first set of aftermarket wheels in the early 90's OZ Monte Carlos.

Looks good, definitely upgrade the brakes next.

They look great!

Couple questions if you don't mind...

You have a base model I think?
Did you notice a difference in acceleration or anything else going from 18's to 20's?

I have a base and am thinking about doing the same...

Thanks!

na i have touring. and these wheels aren't too heavy, 27 lbs front, 29 rear, or something close to that. but in any case, whatever acceleration i lost in weight to the wheels, i definitely made up for in grip. those 305's in the rear definitely hold a hell of a lot better then my stocks, so my acceleration "feels" a whole lot better, but really i'm just gettin my power to the floor.

comparatively to some lightweight volks or advans, they're very heavy. but 4-5 lbs over stock isn't too bad in my mind, especially since she's my street ride and will likely never be tracked. if i do ever decide to take it that route i will definitely look into a lighter setup.
