Default New Wheels

I was planning to post this one and share with you all

Too bad, the lost of my OEM wheels ruined my enjoyment.



Oh well...What do you all think? I know it needs to be lower

Looks good.

your car looks great but i'm bias toward white gs since i have one. you must lower your car so it looks better.

sorry to hear about your wheels.

Great looking rim...I hae always like those...unfortunately there ARE many copy-cat look-a-likes out there....but you can feel good that you are driving on the original

Like the other before me stated....drop the car...you will love how it looks!

well, the higher your car is the 'smaller" the wheels look. when you lower your car to no gap, they would look a lot bigger

I would not drop it since the wheels are only 18s
I would if they are 20s, cuz it gives the car a 4x4 look.
