Update on Wheels

It didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would without lowering. I guess I can live with it until parts are out. One thing about these wheels is the way the centers are designed, they hide a good portion of the lip. Makes it look smaller than it really is. Especially the front. You can see in the photos.

I am happy with the wheels. They look good. I think it will look really nice once it is lowered a bit. Will post again later.

Looks like I could have gone a bit more aggressive on the fronts but I wanted to keep it safe. Maybe a 9" and/or less offset.

you definitely need to drop the car bad, it looks a bit out of place right now

about the lip size, i agree the spoke design seems to hide it a bit. but from the pictures it seems that the offsets are pretty conservative, that affected the lip size as well i guess
