Car looks sick. Daring and unique. Good job pulling it off. Makes me want to drop my G more.

I guess I'm alone here, but I think they look very ricey. They're just too wide with too big of a lip. The blue wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't so big, though.

I like the width of the wheel, color, & the lip but the tires look funny. They don't look nearly wide enough but I guess that would be the sacrefice you'd have to make to get a 6" lip.

The rear wheel is the only one too wide. The front looks pretty nice.

We're not exactly muscle cars here. We have torque, but not THAT much torque. It just looks excessive, tires like that only belong on old school muscle cars. What's under your hood?

That's my only real objection. It's just all for show, not functionality. The rims themselves look fine, they're just too wide in the rear. Fancy wheels are fine. Wide wheels are fine. The two together is just too much. It makes a-holes like me throw the rice flag.

Widen the body a bit to match...then we're talkin

That's a good point. The tires don't seem to be wide enough for the rim. I showed that to someone in the know, and he said it looked dangerous. I guess as long as it's in the spec of the tire, you're ok. Just be careful.

lol. guy tells me that its too wide for having nothing under hood.. and then says to do a widebody to help it.. that would be rice in my opinion.

oh well. yor guy "in the know" knows nothing. he must be used to accords on like 7.5" wide rims.. its perfectly safe.

i got new pics up ima make new post tho
