Style 57 girly rims undergo sex change

[X Foomph]

I was wondering what Style 57 oem rims would look like in 20", so I had a quick go at photo chopping some. Yeah, I know the pic looks iffy but I was in a hurry.

These rims as you know, only come in 17" and are sometimes referred to as 'girly wheels/rims'. They do have their use though as they get dragged off the shelf for snowy winter conditions.

The girly rim quote is with apologies and all due respect to owners who choose not to upgrade/upsize their rims. I'm only the messenger here, carry on.

I think they look ok in the manned up 20 inch size version. What do you guys think??

They look good but you have the profile wrong!thats more a 22" tyre profile,which makes it look deceptive.I have 20" and the 40 /35 profiles are about double that.

Yeah, you're right. As I said I knocked it out pretty quickly so didn't really pay attention to diameter detail. If/when I get some spare time I might redo them in high def and resize correctly.

I have just put on the 57s for winter instead of the 87s and they look "girlish" .Also now because of your thread I now keep imagining them as 20" and I feel better then

No worries friend.

You enjoy all that snow, sleet, fog, slush and rain on your winter setup, I'm just going to try and enjoy our upcoming summer.

No....dont enjoy it all...!Only use the X occasionally in winter but better be prepared.
In the UK winters are pretty bad ,especially in my area Stroud.Gloucestershire but luckily I spent most of the winter where I am now .Portugal,where temperatures are currently 25/15 C and Sunny
