Default Should I?

I have a chance to buy a set of 20" chrome wheels with some worn out tires (285/50r20) for $125. Don't really need new tires but it sounds to good to pass up. might be nice to go from 17"s to 20"s. what does everyone think?

Were they taken care of? Are they pitted?? Even if they are I agree with you, for $125 you can always get them powder coated

I personally think the 20's ride like crap unless you have a meaty tire. But with that being said, at $125 you could probably always get your money back from them.

I think the tires that are on it will be great for a smoke show lol. I really wanna run those kumho mt kl71 s. maybe some 35s backspacing permitting.

Sounds good to me only difference i could tell when i got my rims was wen u hit a pothole because the tires sidewalls are alot stiffer since its smaller and mine are 295/35/ i kinda want to run my stock 17s for a while to see what i run without the 24s because wen i got the 24s i could immediately tell a big difference in quickness i looked it up and my rims weigh 46 a peice and my tires 47 with 50 psi so yea i dont know how much stocks weigh but these seem pretty hefty
