Need opinions on wheels!

Looking to pick up a set of 20" rims tomorrow for my Lincoln LS but having trouble deciding which rims I like. I have to order one of these though:

I'm really liking the Fossil wheels. I loved the Star's but there is no dish to them so they are out.

I could also get Bigg Wheels. No, the place I'm ordering from has limited choices.

I don't HAVE to order through them but I'd like to. Supporting a family member by doing so and also getting a good deal.

It's for a black 03 Lincoln LS. I'm not going directly for VIP stlye but for an executive/luxury style. It's pretty much like VIP but slightly different. I don't really need to stay true to brand names, etc.

:pat: Oh snapss dugh you just said that in the first post...my bad..I really think that if you want to have any VIP influence on your car and to gain any respect from members hear it is important to keep your wheel fitment has flush as possible. YOu dont have to have name brands but it does help to have nicer 2-3 piece wheels..Ima take a guess and say your going to get those wheels for $1000 or under.. YOu could find some nicer looking wheels for just a little more and would look nicer..

Now if you are going for a DUB/VIP look than it does not matter what we say becuase its not what you will want to hear...Sorry dude but this hear is a VIP site and most folks around here will not push those wheels and say the same thing I am...

So with that said just get what ever wheels you want and work on making the interior VIP style..Curtains..wood kits...neck pads..bling shit knobs etc...:shrug:

Thanks zion. That's exactly what I am doing. I've actually decided to go with these wheels: http://www.customwheelsunlimited.com/KASINO/PITBOSSPOP.jpg

The interior has already started VIP as I've done the custom wood grain, swarovski accents through and I'm adding curtains, pillows, and other things to the line-up. The big thing with the wheels is I got a flat tire a few days ago and my inspection ran out at the same time. I'm going to be needing rims so instead of replacing the tires (other side was nearly bald too) I'm just getting it all done at once so I can get it inspected ASAP. I drive a Lincoln so it's not like it's VIP at heart to begin with.

Neat, the truck/suv sizing should be pretty aggressive for a Lincoln

That's what I don't understand. They either say Truck/SUV or FWD Car. My Lincoln is RWD. What is the difference?

might as well get some used wheels from the forsale section here. Like the Work Ryvers, some Euroline DHs, Or even check out Ebay and get some HRR wheels like the MR1 or MR2. Good luck but a lincoln LS done like every other dub car doesn't stand out it more less blends in. I find those big gaudy chrome rims akin to having a gold/silver/platinum/diamonds grille in your mouth (ITS NOT CLASSY, VIP, Or EXECUTIVE) the whole point of the style is its something an adult would drive to work and get out and his co workers won't think he is trying to be Fiddy Cent.


Just my $.02 Good Luck on your decision just think long and hard about it.

No 5x108 wheels in our FS section.

It really is too bad though, because the wheels on that website definitely look like cheap junk.
