We'll I had it like this for a little while


Then I got bored and painted my other wheels flat black and lowered my car a bit more.




Now I am thinking if I should lower it more.. I have seen pictures of people where it covers the whole top of the tire and cambers sick.. I want to do something like that but if I lower the car more I am afraid it might hit my fender wall and I will need to roll my fenders..

What do you think? good where its at or lower? Roads are not too bad here so I don't have to worry much about bumps.

2nd. With black rims it can be hard to tell you're even riding on anything nice, and flat black just kinda makes it worse. But those chrome classic mesh would definitely be hot!

definitely looked better before. From far away I would confuse your car for having black steelies... black wheels only look good if you have a polished lip.

The black wheels are temporarily. I put them on so I could lower the car because the Volks were hitting my coilovers and I couldn't lower the car anymore on them. I am waiting for my other wheels to come in so I can lower it some more. It still looks high to me for some reason... Car will look like the picture with the silver mesh wheels hopefully.. Maybe get that evolution kit I saw on the other thread.. It will make my car look lower

u could drop it more, but u risk reducing driveability. i think the drop u have now looks good but im interested in how that evolution kit would look. as far as wheels go i gotta agree with everyone else.

The inside was on the coils.. I can get them to fit with some spacers + extended studs + fender roll but I don't feel like spending all that $$ right now.. haha.. maybe some spacers with the studs already on them eh..? but if I do it will probably hit the fender wall still...
