Default Setting the bench mark?

18x9 225/45/18 and 18x10 245/40/18 +22 all around







rear fender was rolled and the front needs to be raised... other than that everything is G

how does it look to you guys? are they keepers?

It's a keeper alright. Really nice.
I like the SX as well. I have a '93 red coupe and we (my son and I) are working on it.

Get rid of the Datsun or whatever that is. This is a gentleman's forum.

Just kidding.

Keep that IS.

Cheers,

maybe you should remove that last pic. the rim is cool by itself but seeing it on "that thing" brought it down a few notches.
