Default I did it! 24's ONLY ONE in MIAMI

Well a while back i was talking about going 24"s on the GX, and i didnt know what rims to go, well i didnt go with a 3 piece i stayed with a 1 piece wheel, i didnt feel like spending 6k i have other hobby's right now

well like i said, I went 24"s i think there by 9.5, I do perfect U turns NO rubs or scraps didnt have to cut NOTING, shakes a tiny but at around 54 thru 56mph, i dont complain rides perfect at 60 80 20 30, i did feel like I lost a little power, but i didnt buy this car to race, I got a appointment tomorrow, at a very respected hydro and airbag suspension shop called REDs, the specialize in lifts and drops, so, my goal is either to tuke the wheels or, sit the car right on top of the wheels, on custom made springs

hear are some pics



20% tint on the whole windshield

5% HP tint on top of stock tints

Looks good, I can't wait to see it dropped!
The tints look good against a silver car.

With the 24's and those low-pro tires...that wheel gap is jumping out at me. I never thought that I would say this but with that setup you have to slam it. Let's see some pics with the drop...I am sure it will be the first slammed GX.
