Pics of un-lowered G's with wheels!

See above for the perfect example of why this is the case. Drop, rims, kit. In that order. Period.

Bodykits and aftermarket wheels with no drop looks retarded.

for the same reason, i haven't lowered mine. where i work, we have this sh1tty a$s driveway that i would totally munch coming in and out of everyday. my driveway at home is very steep and narrow also, so driving in at an angle isn't even an option...

I agree with everyone else; if you are getting rims then you want to get the most "effect" out of them. Without a drop, wheels look pretty awkward, so basically you just paid $2000 to look awkward.

I am running on 350z H-Techs and I regret not going with S-Techs. The front drop is perfect for me but the back is retarded, and it makes my nice rear wheels with fat lip look not nearly as good as it should.
