What do you guys think about these rims?

I found some nice rims I wanted to get...
I was just wondering if I could use my stock RS tires

Not bad but please peoples, do not get wheels that weight more than what you already have. I know there are two types of modders, go fast, and look pretty, and maybe in between. Just remember that heavy wheels are BAD! it affect braking, acceleration, suspension and just wear things down fast. I would rather go with the lightest 18" wheels and tire, but I know some of you guys like to be bling bling LOL!

Hey guys thanks for all the response... That's exactly what I am looking for.

If these rims aren't good... Id be glad to look at your recommendations
I am looking for 20s that I can reuse my stock tires with from my RS and they have to be black

I have an LS with 18's, and that's where I want to stay. Light weight vs. cost, plus the all black look is what I'm after.

Any idea how much the LS steel wheels weigh? (Sorry for the hijack).

Couldnt agree more. Mine are 18lbs and was a huge gain performance wise over the 33lb heritage. So as you search I would take weight into consideration. Love the look of the wheels. Happy hunting

Unless I'm missing something, those rims are available in 8.0" width only.
RS back rims are 9.5 or10", correct?

Can't fit the stock tires on a 8" rim, I don't believe. :(

Yep, I can't stand the 20in rims, its overkill. I currently have the 19" pzeros but thinking of going to an 18" after these where out.
