Default New Pics from this weekend

Thanks to Joseph @ SouthrnFresh.com for the feature, Thanks to Johnathan Davis for the excellent pictures, and Thanks to Dan @ Zen Motors for allowing us to shoot inside in shop.

I wonder how an aggressive wheel setup from Vossen would look on the car

Nice wheels but personally I think that drop makes the car look stupid.

When it's dropped so low, the wheel wells just simply look completely out of wack with the wheels not even close to being centered in them. It almost looks like it's broken. Generally I just don't like when you can't see the whole tire and when you can't even see the whole rim it just looks wrong.

I'm just not into it. It's pretty close to "spinners" territory for me. :P

understandable. its almost impossible to have the wheel wells centered with the wheel when slammed like that. in order to do that, you need to create a custom rear axle. ive seen it done before on my previous car forum.

Default Awesome

Very, very nice set up you have there! Thanks for the additional desktop background pics!

BTW, what are the specs of your wheels?
