Why do your wheels look so small?

i agree about the rims.. seeing alot of open space in those wells and not really sure why.. lol
and maybe its a personal taste, but that spoiler looks like something on a hot wheels car.. im not a fan at all..

Car looks good tho.. its giving me the itch to do something more then i planned on my z... haha

Its definitely the tires, I've got 16s and my tires have twice the sidewall. There's a sticky in one forum (exterior forum maybe?) that gives comparable tire sizes to stock. Otherwise, I agree to lose the wing, remove or paint the thing on the back window and paint the mirror sails black. I don't think the skirts would look bad if you had bigger tires and were lowered. Not a bad looking car though.

I'm an idiot. I forgot all about the wheel and tire forum, that's where you'll find the sticky.

definately ditch the spoiler. different sides as mentioned. get some 18" black wheels, mr7's are paper weights now! then go from there.

I really like the color of this car. Only changes I would make, are to get rid of the two wings, change the side skirts, and get some bigger tires. the 17's are okay, but I think you might need some more rubber to fill that gap. Knowing from photo experience, your angle def. doesnt help your situation in that case.

With a few little changes, this is a really nice car.

Yeah. Those tires look like they have almost 0 side wall

I just took off my spoiler and the wing on the back window. ill try to get new pics up as soon as i can.
PS. there are also decals from advance auto on my car now(cost $15). I only put them on just to see what it would look like but i dont like the way it looks so im gonna be takin them back off sometime.

You should acctually just cut the top level off that wing and make it look kinda like the charger spoiler. Also, I don't see anything wrong with the skirts. I feel that there just needs to be more radius on the tires.

well honestly after that was said about the tires i went and looked at them and they look fine. its just the angle of the pic
