Looks horrible to me. Get some OEM 3GS wheels like chuckb or the other 2IS wheels if you want that OEM look.

I can't vote because my option isn't on their. I know that i'd LOVE it with a drop, without one i'm going to have to pass. Drop that car to like a 1 finger gap and it'll look like sexy time
