Personal enjoyment. Isn't that why we all mod our vehicles? Seriously though, what kinda question is that?

In regards to not being able to drive it, refer to first post. I daily it....a good 60 miles per day and weekends vary. Just this past weekend I drove 2 hrs to Santa Barbara. I put on about 20k miles per year. Yeah so my rack and pinion went bad and so did my O2 sensor, but the reason behind it is not what you think. I raised the rear up 2.5". Quite a bit. That caused the front to be lower. Reason why the rear was raised is because I cut the fenders and I'm still in the process of clearing the wheels and not having any metal dig into the tires....

So before you go on anymore and say I can't even drive it, get your facts straight...and it's not like I'm the only person in the vehicle, usually have a full car FYI.

I haven't noticed any issues at all. No buckling but then again the tires or wheels don't hit the fenders at all. It does weaken it but I think it's still fine.I cut out a huge chunk. I wish my fenders weren't rolled so I can cut the fenders, that way it's one piece and gives me some mm clearance and easier to hammer out.

I like the concaveness... but the color makes it waaaaaaaay too BMW.

I'm not saying go black either, you'll lose detail and it'll blend in with the tire... but I definitely would like it better if they were darker.

Those are some massive spacers, Levon.

Still, you set the stance standard on a whole different level when it comes to the Sedans and for that, you have my utmost respect.

Levon, the wheels flow really well. Obviously your car aint the first car with these wheels. There are some GS300's, z's and others rocking these same wheels and they dont look too bmw'ish. If you would of gone with that first set of bmw wheels you posted before, they kinda did look a little bmw'ish lol. These look fine. Do not do matte black or black period. It looks great as is playa. I was hoping you would of got the porsche wheels. Woulda been dope.

i highly doubt anione here has done a switch on the rack&opinion and if not you can always be the first lol

yeah yo thats a lot off money to drop on mechanic but its the sacrafices you do for being slam
