Default Took new pics out of the garage!!! Also got questions

Ok i finally took pictures of the car from outside the garage hope you guys like it, its not an vip car but i love it, also have some questions, i want to get rims there is this guy selling some 19" x 9.5" do you thonk that thats gonna look bad on the front, also would you go with 18", 19", or 20" i want to keep this height because even tho its not so low brooklyn streets are fu***ng bad, also im looking to do a gloss black vinyl roof i think its going to look sexy even tho i never seen it in this color only on white cars, also i recently changed my oit to synthetic oil and i notice the car smokes more from the tail pipes, maybe its just me but is it possible that by changing to synthetic i messed it up, ianyways i have many more questions but dont want you guys to get upset or whatever ive tried using the search thing and dont seem to get my questions answered enjoy the pictures Took new pics out of the garage!!!

sup! i live in MI a state full of horrible streets so i know where you're coming from. with that great looking stance i would highly suggest 19s or 20s. there are others out there with 19s or 20s who can vouch.

i've got 'little' 18s but i'm happy with them especially with a more conservative drop with DF210's and KYB's. i haven't owned 19s or 20s but with my 18s i'm satisfied with the road noise although it's not as quiet as my stock 16s.

post some pics of the wheels or find out what kind they are. but i'd suggest that you look at a staggered setup. not a bad idea to check out tirerack. good luck!

i completely agree with him, esspecially with the cushion part lol but if your getting the 19's on a deal jump on it because if you dont like it afterwards you can always try and flip it. what suspension are you running? car looks good man, post pics if you get the wheels
