is this fo' real?! i just ordered me the complete kit they got going for sale.. oh well.

and the same thing happened when i ordered my 166's. it wasn't until after i ordered them, i found out they came in different offsets. what'd i do, break a mirror?
for the price and look of the rep...you're still a winner

Just gotta research a bit more before you buy something

thats just the mtech kit

you would need the skirts and rear with the splitter

he has also lowered it a lot

your rims are going to show you how much wheel gap you will hvae

you need the h&r springs to go with the wheels
thats amit's car i believe..and hes not lowered if i remember correctly.. hes stock and trying to have someone take over his lease. his car is an 08

it is amits car. it is a sport but not lowered, and yes he is trying to have someone take over his lease. I was going to buy his wheels but he said he was only going to sell them if he found someone to take the lease.

i wish i could just buy his and put it on my car. has the splitters and everything i want.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if the rims in that first pic are of 19's, I am assuming AWG's car will have the same tire height since hers are 245/35/20 and 275/30/20....actually taller overall circumference than what that guy is running, assuming he's got 245/35/19, 275/30/19.

So, I would think the 20's should fill out her wheel wells even better...bigger wheels, same sidewall height.
Sorry Dr., help me out here. If you ride on talling overall circumference, then what would that do to the on-board odometer? Will you get the same reading as the 19" with same height? How does that work? I'm no expert in this, that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

Your speedometer will show that you are going slower than you actually are, theoretically, but since out speedometers are about 2 mph fast anyway, it might just even things out with a bigger rolling circumference.
