agreed. 18s look ok just for the front half of the car, but when you look at the fat round bulging rears of the gs it completely swallows the teeny 18s. Dont do it bro. You had 19s. dont go 18s. Trust me youll be wanting to trade those in, later on.

Anyway, your air setup is the sickest!!! Always been mad jealous.

Thank you !! the makes me hella happy !! I have redone the trunk alot since the first day ...

But over all it is looking better No new trunk shots just yet But I have to have the new ones for you guys .. Moved the compressors with some lighting shots ..

19's on my car look huge and my car is bigger then yours. 18's look just right on it. For the people that cant visualize it, thats because they are riding too heigh. I mean the car comes stock with 16's doesnt it? Imagine it 4-5 inches lower then stock and the wheels being 2 inches larger. Im not saying 19s dont look great too but its not needed.

Like Ebruce2, im also a big fan of your air set up

i dunno... if the tire sizes were right and the car sat down on the wheels i would be paypalin for some black equips about now if it was me.

wheel size looks proportionate, everything else is what makes it look off.
