After taking part in some work on Praisethelowered's car, I sat down with a friend of ours and we did some brain storming. I showed my friend some pics of praisethelowered's car after he had put the rims on it and he loved it. So, this is what we did. This is a daily driver, so we had to go a little milder on the flushness of the wheels and tires.

- 20" Vellano Forged VSG wheels
20x9 front with a 3" lip and 20x10 rear with a 4.5" lip with 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 tires.
- Lowered with H&R Coilovers

Now, I just need some idea's on a kit for this one. Dont worry, M-Tech is out of the question for this one.

I guess I'm one of the few that do not like that look at all on this car. I see it as a luxury sports sedan and that slammed look just kills the character of the car IMO.

Same. The car is stock its like a family sedan all pimped out. Those wheels would look ok on an M5 or a 550 sport with full package etc. Maybe making it higher about 3/4" would do it.


Sorry. :thumbsdown:"/

Wow looks awesome in my book! Actually seems kinda low for a daily, but hey if it works then do it.
How about a lumma front, m-tech sides, and reiger back w/quad exhaust? That's my ultimate goal
