Default Got Rims, Finally

I finally got rims. I got it from a forum member Danalo, Locally too. They are used, but I'm very satisfied.

I don't know if I'm still going to drop it. The extra height makes a difference. My bumper doesn't hit parking humps anymore.

best wheels out there (slightly biased view ).....but IMO you gotta drop it...right now your car could compete in some offroading (j/k)...a moderate drop, like 1" w/ an eibach pro kit would make your car look amazing......nice Works

efthimios,
right now i'm trying to pshyc my self that it doesn't need to be dropped.

the extra height is good.
i don't want to keep buying new tires

But, everytime I look at the back, it iritates me how much gap there is.

Maybe christmas, i'll get springs. you see my resistance is really bad. only one comment and i'm already planning when to get it.

did you have your whole car repainted? I noticed that the inner grill and back piece have both been painted white.

While not hitting parking humps is a good thing, having a car that sits that high is not.

Even a mild to moderate drop would make the car look fantastic. And might as well have an awesome looking car on one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Is tire wear with a 1" to 1-1/2" Drop normal? Tire are expensive.
especially for a 9" wheel 255/35ZR18's
But that wheel gap sucks
