Hey guys my Diamond Graphite 2009 FX35 comes with 8" x 18" wheels with a 50mm offset. I am going to put a set of Blizzaks on them for winter.

I have been looking for a wheel for summer use. I don't want to go bigger than 20", so I am quite interested in the Enkei 8.5" x 20" Hyper Black GTC 01 Wheel with a 40mm offset. It only weighs 24 lbs. I was going to mount a set of 265/50/20 Yokohoma Paradas Spec X on them.

Here is a pic of the wheel, I would appreciate your opinions on this set up.
TIA

I think it would look great really, 20's with no lip don't look small, if theres the option of going +30 even on the ofset she'd take that nicely I think & still not be sticking out to far at all I think
 
Thanks Turbo, I appreciate your opinion. I thought the same thing, if I found a wheel with no lip it would not look too small. I don't know why the 09 OEM wheels are 50mm offset. So the aftermarket wheel with 40mm or even less would work okay on the 09 you figure.

Thanks KFL2006, all opinions are appreciated .
 
I agree I think it would pretty good for a no lip, :tongue:. I like the design too.

wow, that's a really nice wheel, the more I look at it the more I like it, it's not a cheap wheel but it's not crazy expensive either, it's very light & that spoke design looks like it'll be big brake friendly if you ever did decide to upgrade your brakes later, I really like that wheel :wink: might make an awesome winter wheel for my fx in black :tongue:

they do make a +30 in our bolt pattern in a 9" width, that'd be perfect I think, 20X9 +30, should measure to confirm though
 
Thanks everyone for the opinions.
I think my bank account is going to take a hit soon.

cool design... but to be honest? I'd rather look for some stock 20s from first gen FX... just my 2cents.

Thats what I was originally looking for, the OEM 20s look great, then I thought I would go with something different. I thought of the OEM 21s and found some, but the guy wanted way too much and there is no tire selection in the 21" size. Soooo I searched and liked the look of these, and I have not see any FX's with them. I also like the lighter weight of these wheels (24 lbs)
