I still don't understand why someone would want to make their car handle poorly, ride poorly, and reduce its overall performance whether they live in an urban setting or rural setting.

And the "makes the car look better" is the opposite of the truth. 22" wheels are the limit and can look good when done right. Anything bigger just detracts from over look of the car.
I agree those size wheels don't really make the car look nice. The reason for them is to get TONS of attention, good or bad. It obviously work, because all the post about these size wheels.

Thanks GunnyG for understanding what I said appreciate ya!

I've seen GunnyG's car in person. The wheels are amazing. I think the wheels being black, they don't stand out to much.

Thanks bro. They're actually black and blue. The lip is black, the face is blue. I'm normally a chrome type, but my car has almost no chrome. It rides smooth for the wheels to be this big and lowered. I used the Eibach 1.25" Pro Kit. To each his own though.

Thanks man. Your car is the ish. You've put some serious dollars into getting the performance it's capable of. 634RWHP? Jeezus H Christ!!! I could get from Oside to SD in 10 minutes in that. LoL

It's crazy how it's come along in the year I've had it. Was just talking with Mike Haddad about taking up a few more notches and getting over 800RWHP.
