I just got done putting on my 16" Riax Seca wheels in black. Why 16s? I wanted a little bit of tire (my town/area has terrible roads), and I like the look of 16s personally, although I know I'll get flamed for it
Anyway, i know I'll get the old "it needs a drop", but see above reason for going with 16s. My town alone right now has a husge sewage project going on and they have all the roads effed up pretty bad.
On to the pics:
The tires are 225/50/16s which came as a recommendation from the JBO.
as a side note, the calipers and drums will get painted very soon---calipers red, drums flat black.
thanks for looking
If your going to drop it make sure you go with new struts also because you gonna have a horrible riding vehicle otherwise plus you factory struts are going to go out after a while if you drive alot. I went with KYB AGX's. Otherwise they look ok but your right, you need a drop
good deal on the 16's ill be getting that size to but more because of the perfromance reason rather than the @!#$ty roads one. I read what you said about the drop on the @!#$ty roads, but look into the Tein H. Techs, they only drop the car an inch so you still have the clearance w/ a more agressive look. Just food for thought but the car looks good.

or the Pro Kit from eibach

IF I lower it, I will most definitely be getting new struts as well. I may look into the Tein springs also, since it is not that much of a drop. I like the Pro Kit also, it's only like 1.4inch right?
Anyway, time (and money) will tell if I do lower it.
Thanks for the comments.
Ehhh, that gap is huge!
I understand what you mean, PA does have horrible roads
Where is Roscoe? Currently I live in Indiana, PA. But once home from school I'm from Allentown.
im on the pro-kit and I think fills the gap VERY well..
Just something to think about, but yeah, with a drop it would look great

Want to sell me your old rims?
it really needs a drop lol...

i'm pretty much sure they are sold
and yes mike that car needs lowered, but after driving up to your house finally, those roads are aweful. I would go with H-techs at the most i think, you'd have a hard time with those getting in your garage let alone if you go with the pro-kit. Just dont want to see that sexy LS kit get all scraped, but im diggin the wheels bud

If you mean the LS rims, then they are sold (which actually made it possible for me to get these rims).
