Has anybody put 20's on yet

[chasmanz28]

Im thinking about keeping the stock 18's for the winter and upgrading to chrome 20's for summer use. Has anybody done this yet, and do i have to worry about anything? I do have the tech package so what would i need to do to make this work.

Bling Bling Nukka!

[chasmanz28]

Bling Bling Nukka!So i gather you dont like the wheels (peep)

[mp3josh]

I just don't think it would be right haha. I think they belong to the ghetto kids with their caprices and old cop cars haha

[mp3josh]

Well Charles I would choose something that would be around stock size or one size bigger and then lower the car with springs.

[mountjonas]

those wheels in a 19 and non chrome finish would look pretty nice, i think.

[mp3josh]

everything i posted is just my opinion. It is your car you spent the money on it.

[azms6]

My plan is to mount RX-8 wheels (18x8) IF I can verify the offset will work with the CX-7... no larger than the stock wheels, just a tad more aggressive

Keep the 18's, go 19, or up to 20's

I like that idea as well.

Think about 20inch tuner rims on a CX-7 with an aggressive lowered stance (not slammed)...a la cayenne-esque...I like that sport/tuner crossover look ;)

Not to offend your taste, but it seems like you just depreciated the vehicle 5k less. (omg)

Nice choice...I'm telling ya...The CX-7 would look badass hunkered down on clean 20's and up!...Nothing too flashy or chromey...

Well I personally would not get anything bigger than 20's cause I care more for performance than looks. However I have to agree with you, the CX-7 would look sweet hunkered down on clean 20's. And definately not Chrome. Chrome is old news.

These are 20's right?!?!?
Very nice, but what a rip off(pissed)

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e377/Z_Monzter/CX-7with22s.jpgYou could very easy find rims and tire combo like that for around $2000. Im in the process of doing that now :)

[nate0123]

not to mention probably sell your stock wheel & tire set for maybe $600+

[RaiderMP5]

Of course, when you go with those big ol wheels, you need big ol brakes too. So far, not a lot available for us.

Cool man, thanks.

And for those of you that are on the market for some wheels, here is a website that's got every chrome wheel that you can dream with (good brands that is).

http://www.wheeldealersdirect.com/wheelsbybrand.php(first)

If anyone get some wheels please post pictures and the wheel specs for the rest of us to have ideas.

For example, the factory wheels are 7.5 inches wide. I would like to know how wide can you go with the CX-7. Of course that depends on the wheel off set as well.

I am planning on putting my factory 18x8 350z wheels to see how they look on the CX-7, I will also plan on trying my RH J5's that are 19x9 off set +26 in the front of my car. If I try all this I will take pictures and post them here to give others ideas.

Unfortunately I bought the CX-7 for my wife, so is in her hands to decide if she wants to spend money on some wheels for her SUV, I have enough with the payments. My money goes to my Z and I just spent over 3K in my 19's two months ago.(shocked)

[Antoine]

I'm not big on chrome but that looks hot for chrome...

Just goes to show the potential of the the highly attractive CX-7 ;)

These wheels are sick, but unfortunately they are concept wheels so you can't buy them.

[nate0123]

the design is very similar to the production ones, just a bit larger and a lot more 3-dimensionality

p.s. don't forget about the tire pressure sensors! be sure you have good tire place put them on! they will need to take the ones off your stock wheels! i sold my stock wheels to my tire dealer for 700$ get a good all season tire and will be good all year ! i got the goodyear eagle gt II i love them!! look great too
good luck

yep - im going to invest in a new set of sensors, to make swapping for the winter months back to the stock rims easier (that way, no dismounting of the rubber just to swap the sensors - an extra $400 up front, but way worth it IMO)

as soon as they're installed, i'll post the pics...

[cruzdreamer]

Those chromes look sweet...go for it!

[mickeyreategui]

go with chrome and bigger is better. i think you gonna have fun in the truck no matter what size, weight, or finish. and i don't think anybody is going to be auto crossing the cx-7 all the time.
