I new alot of people were waiting to see these on the car so I didnt want to wait until I got my F6 back from the tuners, which wont be for another 1 - 2 weeks. We both run king springs 68ssl if I remember correctly. Hub to guard is 335mm so yes his car sits quite low, but with the 275/30 , 10 inch rim and +42 and slightly rolled guards ( I bought the proper tool when he got his wheels and we rolled them together) nothing rubs inside or out. Ill take more photos and make comments on how they drive when I put them on the back of my F6. My sons car runs relatively low Kw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys here has an F6 Typhoon running 18x9.5 +30 on the rear, and the fitment is spot on.Also to buy 20x9.5 knock-off Dark Argents and then claim they are for function is rediculous. I bet those things weigh a sh*t ton.Rims I have coming are Nismo LM GT4s in 19x8.5 +25 and 19x9.5 +30, which weigh 9.25kg and 9.35kg each rim respectively, look better than 18's and will clear pretty much any BBK I throw at it.

They feel quite light in fact but just for you Ill weigh one. I guarantee its within 1kg ( I stand corrected rims weigh 13.5kg) of the rims your talking about which in the real world of potholes wont last long. I also bet your rims arnt load rated at 850kg.

winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 8m 10d Posted 17/10/10 10:14 AM Share Posted 17/10/10 10:14 AM Mine are forged monoblock wheels made by Rays, not cast knock-offs made in China. If you wanted grip 18's would have been far better, or even 19's as a compromise for looks/grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for the dark argent 20s was I got so frustrated test fitting many wheels I liked that wouldnt clear my 6 pot brembo ( Eg Vertini " these wheels are designed to clear FPV brembo - None FITTED. So in the end I have one set of 19 twist rims ( original rims ) that I use for track days ETC. and the 20 inch argents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only put it there about a couple of months ago when I noticed I seemed to be the only person without a PIC. I would have put up a fancy one but it took me about an hour to work out how to do that one HAHA! I apologise for showing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a set on ebay for 4k rims only. An XR6T/F6 will never be as good performance wise as a proper sports car. I think with these 20" fake argents people want something that looks good and still provides an element of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
