New rims for the LS

Maya (TrafficStar) RT5
20x9 +30 fronts 245/35/20
20x10 (unknown offset rears) 285/30/20

Will be getting a new pair of rear tires in the same size (they're purchased waiting on shipment)

Doing regular cleaning to them for now then eventually going to get them professionally refinished

Still in process of cleaning the wheels:

i'm not the biggest fan of the RTS, and i personally would have gone with some type of full face wheel on the LS rather than a five-spoke.

but i can't even afford rims for my car, so i can't even talk smack. lol. :shrug:

Only thing I don't like in thin 5 spokes design wheels is the hollow/emptiness between the wheels & the brake kit. Prefer dish/full face wheels....

I would be looking to camber those wheels to fit rather than pulling to clear it (which seems to be the typical US way of making wheels fit). A small pull might look ok, but its going to look 10x better if its cambered a few degrees

Nice wheels. You gotta dump it with an aggressive kit to pull it off right. Cause even with fender on rim, stock body is still too high off the ground. Theres a ucf10 around here with 20s and big tires with airrunner, even at full dumped it still doesnt look low because stock bumpers arent long enough and 20s with big tires are too big to lay frame.

Rear wheels are +10 offset if I'm not mistaken.

I'm gonna be putting these wheels up for sale. $2300 obo shipped without new rear tires. $2800 obo shipped with new rear tires (dunlop sp sport 9000 285/30/20). I'm going to be putting a lot of time into cleaning these wheels prior to shipping. Offers appreciated.

I'll put up new pics when I clean them more.
