20s on Black Betty

So I bought some 20" rims for my Fleetwood limo. Turns out each wheel's weight rating is 1,580 lbs. The limo weighs 6,000 lbs empty with a 60/40 rear/front weight distribution. That means the rear rims would be overloaded before I put any of the 9-passengers in the car. I decided that I didn't want to take a chance of having a wheel break due to being overloaded.

So I sold them to my brother for his BRMW. I think the black 5-spokes look great with the black paint. I need to find a wheel with a 2,000 lb+ load rating which is tricky in something that doesn't look like it belongs on a truck.

They look right at home . Who are the rims made by ?

Can't say that I've ever liked the huge wheels on any car.  To me, they look  like a Mattel Hot wheels.

Nice ground clearance though, something I don't have.

I hate HotWheels lookin' wheels too....



Love the black woody Jimmy, and the wheels look great.

The  sheep said that the little blue Corvette would look better with side pipes.

.Maybe it would look nicer next to a white picket fence....

Just several humble opinions.

Mike you have a e response to your PM

They're Boss 338B rims, 20x8.

I only bought a pair so I could mount them up and see how they look on the limo. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to put 18s up front and 20s in the back. I like the "Hot Wheels" look in the back where they tuck up in the 1/4. He's thinking about 18s in the front, too.

Dont like 20s on our wagons but this black one looks awesome,leave it just as it sits.

I think the sheep meant your sidepipes would look better on any hot wheels car instead of the wagon! 

Hard to say. There were all drunk at the time it was said.
