Thinking New 20" Wheels - Thoughts?

[pbeelien]

Hi folks, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger for some new wheels in the spring. : I've narrowed it down to a set of chrome Ion Alloy 625's (20 x 8.5) that will run 265/50/20 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A's. Here's a mock up ... what do you think?

Just what do you expect to gain from them?

ahh ... good looks, and better handling

Did you ever see a roller skate with wagon wheels? No way it looks good and the handling is ridiculous.....

just sayin'

well, that's your thought ... next please

20's?!? GO BIG OR GO HOME! Get you some 50's!



j/k, those 20's won't look bad, but honestly its depends on your own preference...I personally go for the rugged look

I have 20's on my adrenalin from the factory and it handles great also looks great. I have seen the bullet wheels on an adrenalin and it looked good if you like them get them.

Nothing wrong with 20" on an ST. Ford put them on the STA and I personnally like them on mine with taller tires. As far as the Bullitt style, I like that also, to the point I put them on my 11 GTCS Mustang which came with 10 spoke alloys. It's all a personal preference.

I have Voxx G-FX 20" Black wheels from Discount Tire on my 2010 STA. Wrapped with 265/50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler Tires. Looks sweet! Those tires are awesome on all surfaces as well. I will try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

Hey tmsoko,
Any pics of your setup? I thought about getting 20's in the furture for mine, but wasn't sure on how it would look.

Maybe next weekend. Weather was crap this week, so I have not gotten a wash or pictures. Out of town this weekend. Will have to shoot for something this coming week.

I do wish I would have gone with the 275 tires, but a little late for that...

I have a 2008 ST Limited. I thought the chrome package wheels sucked. I got a set of Boss 335's 20" x 9" and 285/50 Goodyear Eagle GT II tires. It looks MUCH better and drives great. The Eagle GTII's have about 35K miles on them and will probably go another 35K. They work great in the wet which is good since I live in Houston.

One thing, road force balancing. Find a tire shop that does it and get the lifetime balance if they offer. You will be glad you did.
