not my cup of tea when it comes to rims... just something about the whole polished black rims with fat lip being played out. doesn't look right on most imports
i gues it look better than rims that are tucked inside fender which for me looks like(pukey)

I love those rims on CWP... very nice. The offset is a bit low though.

I understand...
I understand your opinion. See I don't know if something is "played out" or not. See I am much much older than the typical tuner person. My style represents my personal tastes not the lastest fashion. I come from an old school history of Cutlass's, 280 z's, and such. I love the lip because i have always loved the offset on rear wheel drive cars. Never been really able to put them on my front wheel drives for a pauper's price until now. For less than $700 they were delivered to my door, they don't rub, and they fit "my" style. Thanks for your opinion. Send me a pic of your tastes. I bet it looks good as well. Jamey

the rims appear to sit nicely with the fenders which is what i would like myself. But DAMN the front fender gap is huge! needs to be dropped a bit, and thats about it
Problem is that lowering the car would result in rubbing. It barely rubs with a full load (5 peeps) when I take curves too fast. Luckily I hardly ever have a full load.
if you want to lower it get coilovers you can make them stiff so it wont rub when its lowered

What coilovers do you like that are adjustable to that degree?
Just afraid the ride would become too hard though.
it will become hard

That is why I think I will leave the suspension alone. (deadhorse

I appreciate your comments. I might consider a drop if it didn't make the ride "hard." May decide later on a set of suspension drops. For now, I need to get PayPal paid off so I can venture my next vehicle assault. LOL
BTW finally have everything I need for my stereo. Now I need the guts to start it!
