if your not going to lower it, thats^^^^ a good look, will actually reduce the wheel gap slightly while increasing the sidewall:wheelgap ratio, resulting in visually lowering it :nerd (2): I think long ago will ran oversized 20's, always loved the look...

ya of course not. i am pretty open to wheel designs but i wont get something ugly because it is cheap. i orig wanted a deep dish wheel cause they are pretty bad ass looking but once i realized they do indeed make the rim look smaller than they really are i decided to scrap that idea. 22's plus new tires will run me quite a bit, even with a good deal. i got nice toyo proxies right now so i think i will stick with 20's. tons of choices out there so ill find something nice, and with money to spare since i didnt go 22.
what do u guys think of these wheels? both sets are a flush non lip wheel.

Those RVMs aren't my cup of tea, but everyone has their own opinions. If you really like them get them, but like TK said, don't jump right away because they're a good deal. Those two sets you showed are probably really heavy as hell and will most likely effect the performance of your car. Plus being so cheap in price, you could run into problems later like bending the rims, chrome flaking, etc.

they are really not rvm brand. for example the second set if u look at the center cap, or google the rim name "incubus nemesis" they are actual brands but they are sold as rvm at a lower rate.
wouldn't any chrome wheel be a bit on the heavier side anyways?
I personally plan to stick with 18s because I don't want the added weight.

your not plus-sizing your wheel since since the FX offers an OEM 20'' size with the sport package

get a quality wheel, don't ever want to cheap out on wheels bro, get a good reputable brand and search you can find good brands cheap.
i miss the 22 with 35 profile, best handling ever, stock sucks at corners.. the best set up would be if you get coilovers and 22's on your fx.
