Got my New wheels put on tonight?! *PICS* - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 08:40 PM

People on this site hate so much on 20" rims but im here to tell you they fit this body style so well, these are 20 x 8.5, 035 offset mrr gt5 rims, 2" lip *not stagg* stock springs running 245/35/20, these are machined wheels not chrome so their lighter believe it or not than my stock 18's, i've drove around town for bout a hour giving it hell and i cant tell a difference in performance like so many claim, i still beat my buddies 2011 altima coupe 4 banger, if you get a deepdish style rim it doesnt look rediculously big, these look small to me for 20" but look good, took me 3 weeks to pick a wheel i like and im more than satisfied.......... next up is double din install

this has been a real adventure getting the rims right lol, first i was planning on going with chrome dubs and thanks to you 4gers on here you stopped me from making a huge mistake, i did the right thing and went with a sporty rim so thanks to all who showed me the light!!

its dark outside just put these on in garage, hard to see i'll take better pics tomm...

phenom · January 19th, 2012, 08:44 PM

Those actually go really well with your car. Their hawt. Glad you ended up going with them. repped.

tcsoccer09 · January 19th, 2012, 08:47 PM

happy u finally got ur rims man they dont look half bad!

BPHILLY22 · January 19th, 2012, 08:57 PM

They do look good! Good job

pat_08GT_Spyder · January 19th, 2012, 08:58 PM

finally....

it actually looks good man, shoot some better pics when you have a chance !

Spyderman2007 · January 19th, 2012, 08:59 PM

Awesome man! Love the way 20's look on our cars!

freakydeaky · January 19th, 2012, 09:02 PM

those look good with your car color.... reminds me of orangedemon's wheels

dsm2mivec · January 19th, 2012, 09:04 PM

They look good but still hella big not too bad if you don't plan to lowar

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 09:10 PM

i wanna add, i tested these wheels on the interstate, their hub centric so they mount flush to the bore so no rings and i had no vibration or pull going 80 mph, i also wanna note, i didnt realize till after i put on the center caps they had a clear film over them that peeled off? guess it was to protect during shipping

Animefreak1983 · January 19th, 2012, 09:20 PM

So freakin sweet . I want some!

freakydeaky · January 19th, 2012, 09:25 PM

i've been running that exact wheel setup for 3+ years, and went lower about 7 months ago... expect a shitty ride, and if you drop, expect even worse

i've also been shopping for new tires and would love to increase sidewall width, and three different places told me the 245/35 is the max size i can run... which severly blows because tulsa is full of potholes... i have to get one of those "i hate pothole" stickers, because it's true, i hate the fuckers

gser7 · January 19th, 2012, 09:27 PM

They look good! Im glad you finally went with what you wanted!

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 10:05 PM

i didnt switch out my oem tpms sensors to the new wheels yet, no light yet has come on, also i noticed a small rock chip on passenger front rim lip already lol crazy just got em put on couple hours ago, guess its unavoidable

Ballfade · January 19th, 2012, 10:06 PM

They match pretty well

pat_08GT_Spyder · January 19th, 2012, 10:12 PM

the TPMS light will come on after 20-30 miles, dont worry... just throw them all in the spare and keep the pressure up

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 10:14 PM

i need to order new sensors to put in new wheels, so i dont have to take stock wheel sensors out to reuse in new wheels, this way i dont have to keep switching back and forth and i ever wanna throw on my stock wheels,

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 10:33 PM

XxkevinchuxX · January 19th, 2012, 10:59 PM

needs moar low....im not a fan. but to each their own. glad you like them.

xtreme4g2012 · January 19th, 2012, 11:07 PM

of course it needs to be lower, its runnin stock springs...... one step at a time

Next up is double din, tint, and ralliart eyelids, what eo u guys think tint or no tint?

4gcarbon · January 20th, 2012, 09:57 AM

Looks nice even at stock height...Glad you decided not to go pimp chrome

I think 20" is the perfect size for our cars.. Anything smaller, I would just stick with the stock rims and not waste the money..

and i'd say tint. i did 5% on the rear 3 windows and its freaking awesome. not only keeping people out of peering in the window, but when driving the car doesnt warm up nearly as much from the sun!

joeyb · January 20th, 2012, 10:31 AM

slick. you know what would look even better? painted calipers. easy and cheap to do. If you are careful and patient, you can even do it w/out taking them off the car. just gotta do some extra masking.

NitroGlisson · January 20th, 2012, 10:36 AM

I really like the look you have achieved!

yes to all that....+lower

pat_08GT_Spyder · January 20th, 2012, 12:37 PM

i actually wouldnt lower that much...
20's definitely get rid of most of the wheel gap, while maintaining decent clearance at the bottom...
nice !

mwaterous · January 20th, 2012, 01:31 PM

Return them for 18's and loar.

I actually don't mind the look of the wheels themselves. I just don't like circus wheel sizes. At least they're not 22's... or that stupid Dodge Ram up the way from me with what look like 44's.

Kingjames359 · January 20th, 2012, 01:40 PM

Haha so many haters on rim sizes id throw 22 on a eclipse its ment for looks anyways utha wise it wouldnt be a fwd imo. I am also going with 20s when i purchase rims.
Clean ride tho bro rims look good with your car.

xtreme4g2012 · January 20th, 2012, 01:44 PM

Ur nutz! Anybody hatin on 20s either cant afford em or doesnt have taste, these r not circus wheels, 19s r ok but y upgrade to 19 when i had 18 stock, i made a good decision, if u go deep dish they wont look too big like i stated before, rest my case 20s ftw! Also depends on rim style if u choose a good lookin wheel its fine but if u choose some old gangsta boo wheels yea its gonna look like shit, i almost made that mistake thank god i didnt

XxkevinchuxX · January 20th, 2012, 01:46 PM

im dropped 4 inches on low offset wide 19's you can afford to drop 2 inches with 20s haha

xtreme4g2012 · January 20th, 2012, 02:06 PM

Personally i wouldnt lower it, i can barely get my hand behind the front tires, also. Ur ride if youll notice ur tires stick outta the fenders doesnt look good, to each their own my opinion, i like to not worry bout dips in road if i ever buy bodykit, been down thqt road before

bk3939 · January 20th, 2012, 03:30 PM

When your car looks good there will always be haterz. Mainly jealous people will talk crap. Its what you like that matters.

i dont think there are any "jealous haters" in here...

mwaterous · January 20th, 2012, 04:56 PM

Car looks great, except that it's as tall as mine. I even like the style of the wheel, I said that. I just think 20's are unnecessary for a car our size, but I guess that's because I don't have taste. Guess I'll go crawl back under my rock...
