Default New Wheels!! with pics!!!!

Ok, this is officially my second mod, tint was first. I suck at taking pictures, but here they are anyways. Yes I know it looks like an SUV, so unless anyone wants to donate to the Buy Josh Some Coilovers Fund , it might be a while till I get em. By the way my OEM chrome 17s are for sale if anyones interested.

Holy crap. I didnt realize the car is sitting so tall with 19's or 20's. I might have to get springs in the interim until I can afford coilovers. Lookin good otherwise.

Default Nice start!

You have a nice start and a foundaton to work from! The springs will give you a nice drop, but coilovers will take you even lower! I would recommend doing springs first and then going the coilover route? Looking good!

Suspension first! Then wheels!
