20 inch 100 spokes

[shagr15]

Hey guys I was thinking of getting some 20" 100 spoke spinners on my X but im not sure how they will look. Has anyone seen one with them or can someone photoshop them on just so I can get an idea? thanks
These were the ones I was looking at:

black... and blueka why do say that have u seen one with them??? what do you think is a better choice

 

[blueka]

There's not many Ex's over here on big rims, tbh, it's all down to personal taste, I'm not a big fan of spinners...

My personal taste, if you're going down the big rims route, stick to 5 spokes with some massive brakes behind them so people can see them..

If you were going to go for spinners tho, try to keep them slightly open between the spokes, so they they don't look like solid billet rims when they move...

I'm not too sure what's on offer to be honest..

What kind, and size of tire were you wanting?

There was a explorer with chrome 20 and i think they were 100 spoke to.clost to it anyways. I didnt think that i would like that rim on anything but it does not really look to bad. Its not me but it could be a lot worse.

 

[shagr15]

not totally sure on tires either... im sure ill just end up with about as much rubber as i can get with them so the ride wont be as bad... i kind of like the look of low profile tires but im not sure if i want to sacrifice the ride for the look... as of right now i dont really have a preference on brand or anything like that

I was after a set of decorsa 6 spoke alloys in 22" a few months back, then I discovered that I could raise the suspension 4" with a 3" BL and get some 35" tyres under the arches, which I think is a better look..

see i was thinking a while back that was the road i was going down but that required much more money than i had to spend... while rims are pretty expensive, they end up being less the lift plus bigger tires and another set of rims

 

[blueka]

I'm gonna keep the stock 16's and tyres are only about $200 a corner....

[shagr15]

i just think that if i was going to lift that i would want an aftermarket rim also... maybe its just me but i like to see aftermarket parts on any cars

I'm sorry but I'm going with blueka on this.

Yes I have seen these wheels on an Explorer. There is one around where I live and it looks absoluetly horrible. I don't know what the collor is called. It's a real dark reddish brown. I love the color & wish my Mounty was the same color.

 

[blueka]

over here, it's only the drug dealers and gangsters that have the spinners on their cars, save the weight and just get some really flashy normal wheels

i personally like a super clean, simple, big freakin wheel...as far as spinners, they are a hit or miss...the 100 spokes remind me of all the gangsta's rolling on their ghetto bike chopper things...

 

[shagr15]

can someone photoshop them on for me just to see what they would look like? i saw a bigger suv with once and they looked really nice

Those wheels are terrible.

 

[Paraphoe]

Dude, don't do that. There are tons of better looking wheels out there. If they're what you really want, I guess go for it, but I am really not a fan of those.
