ah ok tite, how come they look so damn big on his car, all other 18s on gs400 look small. im getting 18s this week but am not sure wether to go with the tein super street damper or tein cs. its a 400$ difference and thats alot to me.

is the cs smoother than the ss?

thanks.



and is his car slammed or only lowered slightly, would i have camber problems if i did tht to my car? thanks.

those wheels looks bigger because of the spoke design coming out to the edges. having a reverse lip or having the spokes set inward will downsize the look...as far as the coils , choices depends solely on what your objective is.. comfy stock like ride but with better control teins cs, aggressive street driving and further drop teins flex , autocross/track and visiting the dentist often to replace fillings teins ss and depending your tolerance tein ha.. i chose the bilstein pss for i did not need all that adjustment of damping and all i needed was approx 2in down and i wanted a setup with a true progressive rated spring..


good luck with your choices bro

they look bigger coz' they are 1 piece, so the spokes are more outward and they all all the way. that gives the visual illusion. wheels with deeper and deeper lip, they visually look smaller.

stepped lip will makes wheels look even smaller.

and the more you drop the car, the "bigger" the rims seem to look
