Question Rim ?

I am thinking of getting KMC stealth's 20x.8.5-9 I don't know how they come I hope they make a 20x10 also
I want to know what you guys think of these rims cause KMC is probably the cheapest big rim you can get. I hope they are good quality ( Iculokin) are they?
Sorry no pic of rims don't have one nor do I know how to post if I did....
Thanks
Slick

Thanks trash guy Do you think 20x8.5 are wide enough or will it look stupid. I dont want to spend the extra money on 22's. I also hope that KMC rims are good quality if not I found Foose ones I liked also what you think about those are they any good any input guys will help

KMC is a good rim company. All the rims I have ever seen by them have looked really good. Foose rims are nice but you will have to pay for them. They are expensive and in my opinion you can get rims that are just as nice cheaper. ICULOKN has 22 inch KMC's on his Lightning. You should check those out and see if you like them. If you have any questions about the rims, you could e-mail him. Just my .02. Hope this helps.

I had 20x8.5's on my L at first with a 275/45/20 tire. It looked fine and performed well. That is a cheap tire and you can practice burnouts alot... LOL

KMC's do have alot of flaws at times so be careful. Some wheel places will try to sell a flawed wheel to make more money. Even the ones I have on now have spots in them, but right now they are free to me so I am not complaining. Just look them over before they mount them and you will be fine. The STEALTH is a great wheel I like the look of it. I know it comes in 20x8.5 & 22x10...

Thanks Again

Thanks again guys
I knew someone would know how they would look. I am probably gonna go with the 20's instead of 22's because of the burn out issue I like to do that a little too much...lol, but if I come across a little extra money I'lll get the 22's I don't want the wife freaking out. I just did alot of work to my bike so I need to proceed with caution

Thanks again I'll let you know when I get them hopefully by June
