Default Some before and after pictures.(56k warning)
Here are some shots of my car when I had 20" Nad3 wheels on it and new pictures of my new 19" Volk Progressive wheels and Tanabe exhaust.

I personally think the nads gave it more "personality".

The volk needs the other face on the rear. The one that dips in more.

From looks alone, I really like the Nad3 on your car but the Volks look good too.

I agree that the Volks need the second face for the back for more dish. Also, you need to change your license plate now

Thousands of people see my plates in NY everyday so I don't care if anyone sees them in the pictures. As far as the wheels I like the Nad3 look a lot but they only make them in 20" and they were rubbing a lot. I don't have any rubbing at all with the Volks and my car is dropped with pro-kit. Also the Volk Progressives and tires are about 12 pounds lighter each from Nad 3 wheels and tires.

I like the Volks, but one thing I do agree with some people, is that you couldve ran a more aggressive rear offset. Other than that,
