    I miss the chrome. I love chrome wheels, I don't care what anyone here says. Chrome is awesome.

    Yea, who exactly was dissin the chrome?
    It all just depends on how you're building the car. If you want it to be baller, then you need the chrome!
    The new wheels do look nice, though, don't get me wrong

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    All the haters w/ bashing, just don't pay no attention to. You still got AOM though.
    I liked the chromes ones you had. Them are nice too bro.

    Thinking about rims soon too, think I will stick to 6.5 width though.

    Wow jigga that car look great with those wheels. I personally dont like chrome, but your other wheels fit the car well (they were not to bad). Definitily stick with these IMO

    I like the overall design and style of the new rims. It looks better than the old rims.

    I'm NOT a chrome hater, I think that chrome looks great on the right car, combined w/ the right rim design/style.

    Peace.

    yeah i know, those are RAZR pics, I dont have my camera right now.... but better ones to come.

    -drop is a little over 2.5, i'm not sure of the exact amount, because i'm on DZ coilovers..but I had 2.5 lowering springs, and these are lower than that.
    -Camber isn't bad, as I have prelude arms AND regular camber kits on the front. 3 washers in the back. 40k on the tires, no problem.

    These wheels look good, but i personally liked the chrome better. Chrome looks good if the wheels arent too big or too gaudy. Your old rims werent too big or gaudy. Its still a nice car though. More pics please.

    Yeah, what he said.

    I think the car has an overall way better look to it, more agressive and what not. I say keep these one's that you have.
