no pics... but i could only imagine... BAD



actually i think you can go to like discounttire.com or tirerack.com and actually see your vehicle with different rims on it. the car hieght would be stock, so you could see how it would look

check out my thread on here titled "upgraded baby".

... i have pics of my car with 20s and the ride height is stock, so you can see how it would look if they were smaller rims (people are already telling me to drop it lower lol )


while you're there... let me know what you think

Your car looks safe!

A small drop will compliment the wheels well.

By the way, do you have a photo of the Kompressor emblem you put on the running strip at the front of your car. I remember seeing it once... and I was thinking that on my black car the contrast would look lush! (Where did you get the idea)
