Ohhh man........:mad:

So today I go to this place near me who does just about antyhing to do with cars but its a rip-off place....I just wanted to see what kinda prices theyd put up.......

I went to see how much HID kits were over there.......750 installed......no question i would be running out of there.....but my friend rolled up in his Subaru WRX....
The things crazy, carbonfiber hood, trunk, upgraded turbo and intercooler, a lot of work done to the engine.......

So we stay for a while and This millionaire comes up with a red ferrari tesstarossa sp? supposedly he had modified it like crazy, and like a tacky millionaire, put 'twin superchargers' on the side - what bad taste.... anyway 4 minutes later Patrick Hewing rolls up to pick up his brand new navigator...( he had it there to put up a crazy new system) anyway...

He had the Foose Spank6s on his car! I ordered the Spank5 .....although they looked real ugly........too small on the navigator I think he had 20s.....he needed at least 22s.....
So I was worried about my rims coming in....


Then about 45 minutes later the place I ordered my rims calls me, telling me that my wheels are on back order and theyre coming in 3 weeks, Folks, i had been waiting for my rims for 2 weeks already
So No, i cancel the order and now im looking for these

But Ive already found them for about 2400.....
but the problem is........They always list offset as FWD/RWD and theres no PCD!.........how the hell do i know if they fit my car?!........another debacle-ish case.......

I will do my research - but such fate!

I think you may be able to get Cobra R rims in 20" with a custom offset. Some guy on ebay, back a few months ago, said if you win, you can choose 4 lug, 5 lug, low offset for an Explorer, high offset for the Mustangs, etc. All in all, the rims sold for $1200 chrome!!! Some guy has them now for like $900 in 20" Chrome. Maybe ask the guy and see what he says if you're interested in that style. I personally like them. :)

If I ever get 20's, I may go with Cobra R's and a 245/40-20 tires...hehe.
