Personally, I don't like that style. Those are sweet looking though, the color match to his car is perfect

Thanks! I like em a lot better in person than I thought I would from the paper catalog. I would agree that It needs lowered IF I didn't already have a problem scraping my bumper on parking blocks as it is.
Personally I think it's an okay height, but these cars really NEED 18's to look their best. Since I don't want to shell out the money for that, I'm considering buying some lowering springs since my car is in need of new shocks and struts anyway. Problem is that I wanted to buy the bolt on kits with springs/struts/mounts to have ALL new equipment.... it would just be more cash to switch em out and I don't know how or have many tools. |

If you put 18s on it'll look like it needs lowered even more. I know from experience. If you have trouble scaping on parking blocks you shouldn't be pulling up that far.

I disagree, I think 17s are a great mix of looks and still have performance advantages.

Everyone with black wheels have glossy black, I don't want what everyone else has.

The 18s that I had were a flat black with red stripe. They looked killer, I liked them way better then any glossy black rims iv seen

Yeah, I forgot that the bigger wheels would fill the wheel wells better, but also raise the car...duh!... noob
And yes, I need to be more careful with the parking blocks. The worst was when I pulled up on the car dolly to bring it from Texas to Indiana and I didn't notice the right wheel of the dolly was on the curb in front of my house... I tore up the bottom of the bumper under the fog light on the right pretty nicely. :/ |

Mine will basically stay like this for the next 5 months or so.
The benefits of a 3-car garage and a Battery Tender.

Matt, what kind of spoiler is that you have? That is the first time I have noticed it.
