new shoes
Thursday, July 07, 2005 4:42 PM
alright i got some damani 18" gunmetal wheels today in the mail with 215/35/18 Hankook rubber. i thought they were giving me 225/40/18 but oh well i can always change that later...anyways here are the pics, i know i need to lower it but it will happen eventually.





and gloss back painted brakes


comments welcome, like i said i know it needs to be lowered, my parents keep telling me dont lower it because of the problems i had with my cav, but ill prob just do some springs and shocks instead of coilovers this time, but i want to do rksport kit on it first and if it doesnt look low enough then drop it.

Your car looks worse w the wheels now than it did stock. The 4X4 look is hidious. The only thing that could possibly look worse is it having a body kit, aftermarket wheels, and no drop. I do like the wheels though, just not on the car.

I like the lip on those wheels. It will look sweet when you are done with it. Dark wheels with blue looks good.

lol thx, i was hoping it wouldnt look lifted with the rims cuz i didnt want to lower this car because my cav sucked and i need this car to be practical everyday driver, but i figure if i do it right this time ill be good, or ill just do springs so if i have to i can go back to stock unlike the coilovers i had where i had to cut the struts

I'd take the wheels back off until you lower it. I think it looks worse than stock. I'd be very scared of bumps with those tires. From the pic it looks like there not very much sidewall there at all.

I think it looks good the way it is now , and ive drove with rims before a drop and it doesnt look bad in person.

the wheels look like crap because they don't fit the car without a drop (how's that for a wheel comment?) I wouldn't have bought wheels before I bought some suspension for that thing. I also would have made sure that I was getting the correct size tire. I don't mean to be a troll about it, but you asked for comments and I'm letting you have them, I don't think you spent your money wisely.

but hey, not my money and not my car
