Wheels look cool..

but the front of that thing looks beat to death. Personally, I would have repaired the front end before spending $_,_ _ _ on rims/tires.

im planning to do a full roll anyways. right now its just a modest tuck on the rear metal. im not planning to run less then 1.5* camber in the rear and about 2* in the front

as you can tell i dont really care how the car looks. im all function over form. my car and i already came to a realization and agreement that it will never look as good as it did before i go it. but hey mechanically its mint these wheels looking good was just a benefit. i bought them because they fit well, not heavy, and it was a price i couldnt really resist.

do you drift or do anything with your car other drive on the street? i dont want to spend money on paint if i will screw it up sooner or later. riding low doesnt keep your bumpers intact either.

the most i would do is buy a 5 dollar can of krylon and paint the black spots.

5 people in the car? i dunno. i was the driver. i could care less about the people in the back. i was driving. i told them that the car is meant for 4 comfortably....or 2 in the back seat with the front seats all the way up. that could also work out to be fun and comfortable

this is awesome cause i was thinking of painting my car as well but i know it will never be a show car so i nixed that idea. i'll just fix some of the minor things and spend the money else where.
