Just put them on, they came off my sister's car that she traded on a Pilot.
booggerg 05-08-2004, 10:56 PM Im sorry.. but ewww.. those rims are nast... it's much too ghetto and the narrow side wall look just doesn't fit the rest of the vehicle.
rafale 05-08-2004, 11:12 PM They really will stand out. If that's the look you like, cool. Personally, it's too bling for me, but I'm sure my tastes are not exactly popular! How's the ride??
Edison 05-09-2004, 05:58 AM ...the Element can be whatever its owner chooses it to be. Of all the things I've learned as a member of this forum, the most intriguing is an Element's ability to be almost chameleon-like in reflecting it's owner's preferences. It can be transformed to suit nearly everyone's individual uniqueness. That, IMHO, is may be what sets it apart from a lot of other vehicles... and makes it so passionately appealing to those who have one. Ain't it grand! :D
Oh...how does it ride on those? Looks very nice! :)

Dasbear 05-09-2004, 10:03 AM :roll: Duh... I'm speechless! What can I say but...Whoa.
That puppy will standout in a crowd.
:shock: Slug
Fastrack 05-09-2004, 10:29 AM The rims were on my sister's Lexus RX300 they are not mine, I removed them before she traded it for a 04 Pilot. I just put them on to see what kind of response I would get. The ride is rougher than with the stock wheels (hence the lack of side walls) their is a drastic increase in torque steer but cornering is greatly improved. They lowered the E about 2inches and threw the spedo way out of wack, but what the heck they were just laying around and will keep them on for a while or till I get shunned by the masses :lol: .
lizzurd 05-09-2004, 01:54 PM No offence...but as the owner of a GG.....those rims dont look right on your E.....but thats just me.
Florida Roadie 05-09-2004, 02:32 PM Fastrack..Those rims are beyond OUTRAGEOUS .. They are HOT Dude !! I love'em :lol:
helement2003 05-09-2004, 03:06 PM do they keep spinnin when you stop?
Edison 05-10-2004, 04:17 AM do they keep spinnin when you stop?
Looking at 'em again, I wonder... at certain speeds do they make a singing tone? :D

snowshoe 05-10-2004, 07:17 AM They certainly catch your eye. And, while they may not be my cup of tea...if this is the "look" you are seeking, I would have to say that you achieved it! :D
BoxTurtle 05-10-2004, 09:38 PM Fastrack,
Those are some mighty powerful rims, makes your E look like a serious road toy!
If you like the look, than thats all there is to say about it.
The best part of an E is that to each their own, I have seen E's decked out in safari gear and an E that has been 'blingged' to the nines. (A dude in south California)
Its all subjective!
Road on Fastrack and maybe one day or GG E's will pass on I-4 and I will waive for sure knowing its you!!

Fastrack 05-12-2004, 09:00 PM The rims are off. They were horrible, the ride quality droped all the way off the scale.
Important note to anyone that is considering a wide rim, these were 8 1/2 X20 with a +6in back space and fit with room to spare. Keep in mind that the wider you go the worse the torque steer.
I learned my lesson! I can return to drinking coffee on the way to work in the morning!!
Florida Roadie 05-13-2004, 04:13 PM ..But like I said about my first 4 wives..Damn they sure were pretty . :lol:

i respect everyone's right to do what they like to their vehicle, but may i offer my congratulations on letting them go ... another GG E has been aesthetically rescued! enjoy your java and where's the clapping icon when we need it?
