I like those wheels. Would be nice if they were to make them in 20's.

Maybe, you can try a different color.. e.g. Gunmetal (?), just in case you may want more contrast..?

As far as your current choice is concerned, though, I do really like the combo, especially slightly lowered. - Good choice!


I like those tires they look meatier then usual for those sizes

photoshop!
OP - I am in the same boat as you w/ non sport, your car looks good but I agree with others on the fact that you should powder coat the wheels and drop it. The chrome has to go as well.... nice job though so far!

Damn right - no way!!! I'm gonna try the H&R's and if they look even a 1/4 of an inch too low - I'm getting the KW's for the ultimate ability to adjust ride height.

Awesome wheels,
I am madly in love with my OEM Style 166, but I must say -- Those wheels you have are really really good
