Smile 20" Techarts installed yesterday - pics / comments!

Well I was perfectly happy with my 19" lobsters, but I found an unreal deal on a set of 20" TA wheels wrapped with Conti rubber. Deal was too good to pass up so went for it.

Rears are 11jx20 with 305/25/20
Fronts are 8.5jx20 with 235/30/20
SportContact II
Offsets are very agressive- I took the rear 15mm spacers off but left the front 7mm spacers on. Wheels come outward nicely.

Ride is very good, I have 40lbs of pressure F/R and it rides the same as my 19's. Not feeling any diff. Looks wise, it is definitely more on the sporty side.

What do you all think?

You should add a techart front and sideskirts. That would be awesome.

Nice, I loved the same wheels when I had them. Sold mine for something lighter, but they are a great looking wheel no doubt.

Thanks Chris
I wasn't originally shopping for this color, but when I saw it in person it sort of grabbed me.

The techart's are not only beautiful looking wheels, but from a maintenance standpoint -- easy to clean. I'm tired of the BBS style wheels with a zillion places to clean. Time for something in a star pattern.
