    Wow. Rims really make a car look good...

    Presenting my new rims and tires! Some Enkei OR52's with some Dunlop SP Sport FM901's! Check 'em.







    What do ya think?

    EDIT: The car looks a bit streched vertically in these pics.. I resized them badly. Haha.

    Another edit: I know, i need to drop it a bit, and i will in a week or two. 2.5"

    just don't go cheap with the drop, it will ride like ass,

    what are the specs on the wheel, weight and offset?
    I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.

    I got the wheels here: http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=303

    Anywho, these are 16x7, 42 offset. I'm not sure about the weight, but i do know that they are aluminum.

    I have some Dropzone springs that will lower the car either 2.25" or 2.5", and im buying some tokico struts in a few days. Then in about a week it will be time for the drop!

    I'm excited, and i've heard that Dropzone coupled with Tokico make for a good ride..

    I love the tires, too. They provide a very nice ride for low-pro tires.

    Only thing im worried about with the drop is that the tires might hit the rear quarter panels beacuse the side of the tire is about even with the outside of the car, and then theres that little lip that i have to worry about clearing even if i am wrong about the tires being out as far as the quarter panel...
