Default New Wheels and friend's new car
Well, I decided to change out the stocks for a new look of all black. Got a set of Rota Slipstreams in 16x7 +45 and 16x8 +48. I know a lot of people on the boards do not agree with putting these types of rims on the car and I can respect that, but I really liked the look of the wheels and they were at a price I could handle. Also, Tein springs on the way to lower her a bit.

My best friend also went out and got a new car, a Nissan Altima SE-R. It's a very nice car with a lot get up and go to it. Enjoy the pics!

That Tein page may just be a marketing trick. Who knows.


Car looks pretty good.

The only "just springs" that work are OEM Honda springs, that's why. The stock Showa shocks are valved for the OEM spring rate/ride height, when you alter that, the handling sux.
