20" alloys on 3200 (anyone done this?- plus anyone with aftermarket alloys)

[beau]

just wondering if anyone has any 20" alloys fitted to there 3200?

also anyone with any style of aftermarket alloys?

i know alot of people dont change the wheels on these cars, but when i find/buy one (what a hassle!) then id like new wheels!

pics please

I don't think I'd want to go bigger than 19"s as the ride will get really harsh and choppy. You pretty much have rubber bands for tyres.

I'll agree with Neil on that one......19's are about the limit.
With 20's you actually feel every stone in the road, it's like running on the rims ! bumpy as **** and so uncomfortable !
End of the day, if you want to pimp your ride Beau it's your choice no one elses !

well if anyone has any pics of them on 19's or 20's post them up, i feel 19" looks a little small though but prove me wrong!

To be honest when I look at mine on 18" I think they are big...must be getting old!

I think the 19s on a Gransport are as big as I would want to go personally. Ride quality would suffer if any bigger and would be a pain on the obligatory sport setting.

The 19's were very harsh on the GS any bigger would be terrible

IMO beau, there is no point in wrecking a Maser, even a 3200, for yoof aesthetics.

 

[Andyk]

I must say I can not believe the difference with the M3..They are on standard 18's where as most sre on 19's and the ride is harsh compared to the 18's.....PLus the handling is more fun on the 18's...

Sounds like Beau's young and has his back all in one piece , Try some 20" by all means, the harder ride will give you less traction on even the slightest of bumpier roads and on a 3200 that aint good news believe me , hopefully you have all your arms and legs ..............you'll need them to afford them

im quite used to hard jumpy ride, this is 1 of my previous cars just so you get the idea lol

iv seen a orange one on google on 20's that dont look too bad

 

[Andyk]

You're right Beau it all depends on what you are used to........

 

[toomanyhorses]

I don't think you'd like/appreciate the skyhook suspension, "beau", and I'm not sure it would like 20" wheels and the resulting lack of rubber and air

Here's my car with 19's:

Search for "How much boost 3200gt" on the other Maserati board to find some pics of a Norwegian owner's car with 20's.

 

[dickygrace]

They suit the car I think.

those 19's do look nice, deffo going to go for either 19's or 20's i think it will just depend what comes up at the time im looking really.

having just looked at the yellow one on 20's, they do look quite big! maybe 19's would be better.
