20" Armano Rims on the Park Ave

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

Put these on about a month ago, figured I'd post up a couple pics.

They're 20" Armano Dunamis.

$605 from ebay with $190 shipping.

And here's one of my friend being stereotypical, haha //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I thought they worked pretty good with it, what do you guys think?

i hate chrome but they look good, not a fan of the vender vents tho

 

[ShiningBuick 10+ year member]

Yea, I hear that from quite a few people, since they're the fake stick on ones. I figure that since it's a Buick and certain Park Ave models came with the vents it's a forgivable offense, though. If I was made of money I'd find a pair of the fenders with the stock OEM vents and paint em up, but I'm not so I don't, haha.

Baaah, he said bigger than 22", I'm under that.

18's or 19's just wouldn't fill out the wheel well enough, anyways. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif (These end up being a total diameter of about 1/4" more than the stockers, too)

Car look good bro!

I can understand your reasoning for the vents, so don't get me wrong when i say this. However, since everyone and there mother's who think they have a "cool" ride, and even some old busted pieces of shit put them on there car, EVERY car i see now, and i sure most others as well, makes a vehicle look like shit. Now if you were the only car on the road with them, then I could look at them the way you do.

I hope i didn't come off as too much of a fuckass, but i say lose them, and your ride will have a much cleaner, sleeker appearance.

Nope, the price was with tires, too. Problem was the idiot that I bought them from didn't know the meaning of "rotating tires" so two of them were really bald (considering they only had 12000 miles on them.) and two of them had a wavy pattern because I guess they get that way when they're on the back of a car for too long (not enough weight to true them to a nice round shape they should have), so I got new tires coming up realy soon anywho.

Still a decent deal, considering Dunamis are around $1800 for a brand new set and these have only two little spots of curb rash!

I hear what ya mean, Bibby. It pisses me right off when I see Civics, Crown Vics, Cadillacs, etc rolling around with those vents making us Buick guys look bad, lol. I would take them off, but when I painted the car I gouged them off with a knife and left deep scratches in the original paint and didn't bother to fill them, so even though the car got painted it wasn't enough to fill them. I could take them off and fix it and whatnot, but in all reality I'm way to lazy to do something like that, plus I don't want to bother my buddy who's equipment I used to re-set it up and do some spray gun action. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
