not feeling any of those. how about a wheel that looks less "clunky". i have no problems w/ 20's, but those just look like they belong on a caprice or a truck.

Number One of what is listed. Though I always liked the style of #5.

What style are you trying to accomplish with your G?

sorry but those wont go either. 20 inch racing wheels wont go with our car. too big.

Well we have a different way off thinking cause i have seen this rims installed in 8g's and lowered and I really like them. Here;s a example of what I'm going for (not the lambo doors neither the altezzas) but the rims and the ride height, I'm all about looks so i don't mind if the rims are too big or the tire too small. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2290881
this is another example but for the stance not the rims i hate them and I like my 8g wingless, i'm installing a M5 trunk lip.
BTW I'm going to buy them in 20" x 7.5 Offset +38 With tire 225/30 or 35 still hasn't decided.

I agree that "clunky" is a perfect description. The above choices look cheap.

i would go with the first choice ONLY if you get the inserts color matched to your car. i know it is hard to find a 20x7.5 with a high enuf offset you can also run a 20x8 or 8.5 if u have a offset over 38 you WILL have to roll or cut your finders out. but yea if your going for original DUB styling then i would go with 6 and 5 would make your rims look bigger due to the way the lip is.

oh yea u2 rims are not strong at all especialy with the size tire you have to work with hope you have good roads where you live lol

i like the simple look. dnt even think about my rims unless your ready to cut out finders all around lol they are 20x8.5 +38

I mean no offense at all, really I dont, but the Galant is too clean of a car to have any of those wheels installed. Those wheels clash too much with the Galant, rather than compliment the looks. In my opinion, Id go with a clean 5-spoke design. Or even a mesh design wheel. It seems you like chrome. I love chrome myself. :orangebiggrin:

My personal fave is the TSW Snetterton's...

Here's some pics of my wheels. Ive got 18in Davaj Boundry's. I paid about $1200 for all 4 with tires from wheelmax.com

So I did some pics on PAINT and saw some of the rims in the car, and option #1 look horrible on a 8g, I saw a 9g with those on 22" and it looked awesome, so I think I'm going to go with option #4. This babies are going to be 20" x 7.5 +38, but i haven't decided on the tire size i know they are going to be 225 but don't know if Im going to use 30 or 35, I don't want to have to roll/cut fenders, also the 30 is more expensive than 35, but I know that to maintain the OEM wheel diameter the 30 is the way to go, I appreciate your opinions and respect them, I disagree and like this rims, TY and Ill wait your suggestions on tire size.I would also like to know a price range for this tires, I would like to buy some hankook v12 Evo K110.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to cut ur rear fenders with any rim above 18"s.

Those arent my style but you could definitely pull it off nicely. I would go for #'s 4 or 5.

I'm choosing #4, I went to a wheel shop and they told what was needed to do in order to fit these and be able to lower the car 2 inches, its going to need some cutting and welding but its going down.

The lip is about 2" and yep DE's are the only ones with antennas like mine, but I colormatched the black thing on the door and the mirrors, I need to get rid of that antenna LOL.

I chose well :) Looks cleaner then I thought it would, but like I said it wasnt my style. Glad your happy.

225/35-19 isnt too bad of a size only about .2 of an inch taller from top of tire to bottom then mine. I didnt think you would rub with 225 on 20x7.5 +42. I have no rub issues and like I said mine is only .2 of an inch shorter and my wheels stick out a bit more I think I am on +38 they were lexus rims.

This G is sick.. I'm in the running for some new 20s and I know for a fact that I'm going to stagger them.

Omega, I have 20x8.5 with 225/35/ tires the offset is 45 i believe.. I dropped it with eibach springs all the way around. I later had to take off the rear springs due to rubbage. Once the summer hits I may roll the fenders so that I can drop the ass again cuz it did look sick but sucked for driving.
