So KenChan, what your saying is that you laugh at all the stock mustangs, C5 vettes, camaros, firebirds, and eclipses that roll around chicago? They all got 17" with a ton of wheel gap. Sorry buddy, but, we all don't have the money for a proper suspension upgrade. And who the heck are you to dictate what to do with our rides????? don't like it - too bad

yep, check out the suspection thread where it talks about the Koni's. posted a pict there today.

well, basically from what I've learned modding cars for dressup and sus upgrades is that: do it right the first time. if money is the factor, then even more so that you need to plan your mods accordingly. also, if you can barely afford 4wheels with tires, then I'd definitely would not recommend going with 18's. wat are you gonna do if you hit a bump and bend your wheels? can't replace them...sad story. happens all too many times. always buy wheels that you can afford buying 6, not 4. if you aren't gonna be dropping the car, keep the sidewall as thick as possible and go with 16inches. makes wheel gap less apparent.

zen- sh't it's totally up to you what you wanna do with your car. some people just dont get it that adding wheels and lowering ride height goes together, unless your car's already a low rider from the beginning, like some of those european cars. stock car's wheel gap... that's okay with me, they're stock, they were made for everyone, not the car enthusiast. wheel change is the biggest cosmetic change you do to a car, better do it the right way or end up with sad results..but then again, that might be wat you are looking for, a rally or offroad look. ???

I like the Focal F5 and F10 rims. They look really nice on some cars. You guys like them or is it just me?
