does anyone have these and could show me a pic on a liberty, or could someone possibly photoshop them on?

20"? According to their website the biggest they come in 5x100 PCD is 18". Same goes for the Sicilian.

Because I looked at the Hennessey wheels a while ago, but the largest they come in for the Liberty is 18", and they don't clear Brembos so I had to give it a miss.

I'd double check with the supplier regarding the 20" coming in 5x100pcd.

ok thanks for the pic mate. not sure if thats the look i want - just doesnt seem to suit on the car - but i dunno if its the colour or not...

guess i'll keep looking - suggestions and comments are welcome.

btw, has anyone heard of Dropstars wheels? they have a nic rim i'd love to take a look at, the DS02 - but cant seem to load the fitment page on their website

Yikes! How do you go from the Hennesseys

to the DS02?

That's quite a 180 degree departure! The music that plays on their website is a good indication of what sort of style it caters to. :D

welll.... yeh i know you're right...

i think the DS02 might be a bit too much rice... but after looking at that pic of the Hennessy's i felt they didnt look quite right...

the DS02s will stand out enough on this car, and if lowered i think it could look good - kinda like C2 Evolve's

Took the colour out of the car to give it a grey appearance, help your decision?

Looks better Hotwire.

Not my choice of wheel, but that doesn't matter - what do you think of them now?

mate that helps greatly... and im honestly not to keen on the wheel... sorry about the effort but thanks very much hotwire...

back to the search. i did look on the forum link Jimmy but im not too keen on many of those either, and the few i am are out of my price range, at least at the moment (i cant afford much more than 3500)

but thanks again guys
