Default New wheels

Well i know this is somewhat looked down on, couldn't beat the price $1100shipped with new wheels & tires. got them in two days..


i'm just test fitting them here haven't drove on them yet, might pull & roll my fenders a bit and lower my car a tad to even out the stance.. i'll have a photoshoot up in the next couple days i just snapped a few by hand...

Looks good, I'm a big fan of 5 poke wheels on an SC.

I'll be surprised if you don't have to roll/trim the rear.

What's your suspension set up?

tein basics.. yeah i want to even it out some so it doesn't have that hot rod kicked in the *** look since it's not a drag car..

I like those, nice-looking 5-stars. It's rarer to see 17f/18r; makes the front look more aggressive and sportier. That's some wide tires on the rear. Also, I like those red/clear tail lights. They look like they turned out nice. Overall, nice mods.

I was waiting for someone to point out what those wheels are from and then watch the board go from "wow those look nice" to "you're gay for putting Mustang wheels on your car"
