'09 - 20" Stock RIMS - Hate 'em or Love 'em

[jayrandall]

All: There is lots of discussion about the lousy 18" stock RIMS, and the universally loved 21" models.

But where does that leave the stock 20's? I keep looking at them, and tend to think they are 'just ok'. Are the spokes to broad? Or just right?

Anyone have an opinion? (he he):wub:

To me, just OK. Looks like butter lettuce

butter letuce, good observation

Also looks like something Lexus would throw on an RX

Butter lettuce is perfect. Couldn't quite nail it, but that fits.

Does anyone think the revised 20" FX45 (2006-2008) RIMS would look better?

I like the look of the 09 18s better than the 09 20s, and the 09 21s look good but it is an odd size so the tire selection is very poor.

So I use my 18s for winter and bought lighter aftermarket 20s for summer.

Absolutely, they look great but are heavy.

I like my 20's honestly. I don't like the 18's at all. 21's are really nice, but with that tire size I'd pass.

1 gen 20's are the best

If you look at this picture from the European Infiniti web site, the image displays a different convection for the stock 20" rims. The spokes don't bulge outward. Looks better, I think.

Not a fan of those right there!

 

[Gsun]

I got rid of mine right after a week I got my fx

 

[pmanliu]

not a big fan of them either and agreed with the lexus rx comment

 

[rijc99]

Reminds me of GS wheels

 

[soonster]

they look just "Ok". BETTER if they are somewhat darken or blacked out.

Interesting, but since I first posted this thread I've come around. I like the new 20's in terms of comparing them with the stock 18's. I think the 'one-eights' are hideous.

I must be in the minority, I like the 18's, though they're definitely undersized

 

[jawaii99]

Not a fan of the stock 18's or 20's. I found 21's from another forum and bought those to put on the 09 FX35. Much better look, although the tire selection was limited :-(

 

[Hegone]

I really like the euro spec wheels. The 20s from the us fx35 are not my taste.

I'm with you Sydney, I like the 18s much better then the 20s, although undersized.

i have an 09 with the stock 20s to me i like it but i wont say i love it but then again i like it more the the tiny 18s
