Bish you fool, 9lbs of additional unsprung weight per corner? And a system in the trunk? Don't you realize oh have just decreased your 0-60 time by 0.3 seconds!? And reduced your max cornering g of lateral grip by 0.02?! You better have a spoon engined Nissan in the garage, or you will NEVER beat the Tran famil at drag wars. And, everyone knows fuschia is the slowest of wheel lip colors.

Not bad, you're getting close to hella flush. The tires could be a tad wider if you can't get it lower.

I like the wheels but those tires are way too small for that rim. If your going to have that look you need to go much lower.

if you would scroll all the way back... you will see that the negativity is mostly on the powder coater's piss poor job.

there are people who don't care about "quality" and there are people who do... hope that will shed some understanding on your part.

Yes I know, I'm sorry. Powder coater lagging. But I did put the test wheel on car just to check height and such. [IMG][/IMG]

if you want lipstick on your wheels... by all means... don't let the critics stop you... there's nothing like saying "hey check out my lip" like putting lipstick on wheels...
