New 214 style 20" Wheels

Finally got my new 20" staggered wheels with 275 front, and 315 rear.

I am very pleased.. I almost went with the styl 87 rims, but a friend kind of convinced me that the 214 is a bit more "special".. I think i agreeand seeing them on just convinced me even more. (im sure i would have said the exact same thing if i had the 87 now..)

I also got some steel tubes for the pipes from a guy on the forum here, very pleased with that upgrade also.

What do you think guys.:

It sure is Engz...

The sizes are 275/40 20" front on 9,5"rim, and 315/35 20" on the rear with 10,5" rim.

I hear www.tirerack.com is the place for you guys living in US.

The headlights are OEM. I opened and modified them..

Thanks guys..

Theese are the toyo proxes st.. Not st2.

I bought them from England and paid about 1600us for all of it..

If i bought wheels and tyres from a Norwegian shop, it would cost way more..

It¨s hard to compare it to your prices.

Here is a pic of the inside, and under is aa few pics of what the car looked like when i first got it..

ekvals, very nice, 214, 215, or 87s, you can never go wrong...

if i may recommend painting your corner lights black, just like Tom's (MrBmwX5) X, way too nice....

black interior trims looks gorgeous!!!
