^^LMAO.

Looks good OP, although I might be a bit biased since I have a similar finish on my wheels

You can't have peace without the contrast of discord.

I'm pretty sure the're just cosmetic, but I have no idea honestly, and road noise is great. they're nice and quiet (unless im driving on the brick road on the way to school...but thats just a s***ty road to drive on for any tire)

thanks i quite like them myself

My friend wanted to use my car as a prop for one of his shots. I think it turned out really cool.

The D, W, and S will theoretically be gone when the tires are no longer suitable for dry, wet, and snow respectively. I had a set of DW's and the W was gone when the tires were getting close to toast letting me know they weren't safe for wet and the D disappeared when they were toast and not longer safe for dry roads.

That's a nice feature, they should have a "T" at the wear bar so you'll know for sure when it's "Toast"
I guess you'll have to take the minivan in the rain when all you've got is the D showing

Oh wow that's really cool! I mean I thought just having writing in my tread was awesome, but it actually meaning something is legit! Fancyy

Hey bud,

I went to the acealloy website and searched for their vendors. lucky for me, discount tire is actually one and so i went into a local one and asked them for a quote on the wheels and tires together. ended up getting the wheels for considerably below msrp which was awesome, and paid full price for the tires (which i was ok with after saving over 500 bucks on the wheels)

my wheels are 20x9 all around with a +35 offset on all the wheels and im sitting pretty damn flush (given im lowered on an eiback pk so that factors in quite a bit to the holy flushness) No body modifications to make them fit.

lemme know if you need anything else or want more pictures. im always down for whoring out pictures every chance i get

Nice to see you posting Sunny it's been awhile, hope all is well w/ your G
I figured I might as well send him to the source as you know firsthand how it's working out. Post more pics when you can.

Thanks Sunny,

I'm not lowered and was looking at 19x8.5 +35 which retracts 6mm compared to yours. 6mm doesn't sound like much but how do you think it will affect the look?

I live in a really mountainous area so 20s look like they're gonna kill my acceleration and fuel eco.

This site has them ACE ALLOY WHEELS CONVEX 19 inch Rims Hyper Silver with Machined Wheels

for 1120.00 and about 1650 for a package any know if this site is reputable?

Thanks again.
