so i am unbelievably crazy, and only planned on buying new tires for shawn for his birthday..but with his bent rim, the old ones couldn't be used and i didn't want to wait, so as he said..i sprung and bought him new rims as well. so literally, i am the greatest!!
oh and the people who work at town fair tire are RETARDED and didn't put his blue lugnuts back on cause they didn't think they'd fit...even though they're the fuckin same...so he didn't put them on yet, but here's pics anyway!!
bent one

new!

thumb's up!
i love them

may it also be noted that in addition to the rims/tires, she also bought me a 31" glasspack, which will be going on shortly, blue gorilla lug nuts, which i have to put back on, and the blue caliper paint in the pictures
she is the best

I like the rims, but lower the car. It will complement the rims even more and the car as a whole.

Aw, you're a sweetheart ^_^
Nothing says love like rims!
Edit: Well, maybe a turbo... how about nothing says love like car parts? Sounds good

I say don't lower the car.... Get bigger rims!
Whats the plan for the old rims? Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge......

the old rims im looking to get fixed if possible and sell them, or just sell the remaining ones but i am totally not shipping them

Boo for not shipping!
I need something to put on my car to ship it since I don't want the 20's getting destroyed in the process. If you change your mind and want to help a soldier stationed overseas out let me know

Suits the car nicely.

I like everything, especially the painted mirrors and last picture.
One thing, though. Isn't 31 inches a bit long? I have a 25" CherryBomb on mine instead of the resonators for the SRT exhaust and, honestly, it's a bit too quiet for my preference. I'm thinking about getting something sub-20" instead of the 25" so it's louder. Just saying, if you want loud, I would suggest a smaller glasspack.
Everything else ftw!

well thanks for the advice but its already in my bedroom
but thats cool i was looking for something a bit more quiet
maybe my parents will be pleased
the only reason in running the srt rear end is because it was cheap and easy
