Honestly, I don't see these as being better than stock. If you had the 19's, u gotta upgrade to 20's bro! Stock tires?

Congrats though.

I wanted to upgrade to 20's but I was low on budget. Plus one of my front stocked rims was damage causing the steering wheel to vibrate when i was doing over 50... so I desperately need to get these. However, they still look pretty cool and it turns heads... lot of people already compliment me on these rims.
Yea they fit the stocked tires protenza.

20s are not always better than 19s IMO. I would take a 19 in. lightweight wheel over a 20 any day.

Like the others have said, needs DROP nao!!

Looks like once you drop you'll be super tucked so get some spacers too...

There's a ton of threads about drop springs and coilovers.

No drop springs for our cars cost "around $500". Should be around the $300 range. Installation should only be about $100-$200.

You should go somewhere else.

RIP OFF!!!

By that price I take it they are going to put on lowered springs. Those average about $300.00 dollars all over the internet!

And then $500.00 for installation??? For that you can have your dealership do it at that price! A local shop will install for around $300.00 - $350.00

If your looking for a little drop and on a budget go with Springs like Eibach Pros(about a 1 inch drop). Gets rid of most of the gap and wont kill off your shocks quick. The best way to do it though, is coil-overs. They start at around $1,000 for something decent unless you buy used. Research this on this site to see what you want to do.

In this style (the 2 piece look) I believe the larger, the better.

But like the OP said, he had a damaged wheel so he had to make a move. Not a bad "fix" for a bent rim lol. They don't look bad at all.
