New Rims!

hey how does everyone like the new rims? yes they are only 17's bc i recently bought brand new tires for 17's not knowing i was going to come across a great deal from my uncle! plus it keeps the total weight of the car lower too! Low pros will be the next tires for sure

Nice wheels. Oh, and me thinks you should clean your camera lens.

Good job!!! They look tight. I have some 17" ADR M-Sport Glossy Black with a polish lip on my rally white also. What brand are yours?

why didnt you go with at least 19. 19 or 20's look sick. I just ordered 19 mmr's and lowering springs. 19' still fit with it being lowered.

hence!! i said that i had just gotten new tires for my stock 17's. so i bought the 17's instead of paying another 500 for larger tires. plus, 19's and 20's weigh more too= less speed for a 4cyl.

your the one who said "19's and 20's weigh more too= less speed for a 4cyl". I mean come on dude. Its an economy car. Not a race car. I use this thing as a work car. Ive done a couple of things but its no race car. I ordered rims because that is how I am. My other vehicle is a 2004 superduty deisel with 275cc injectors, beans turbo upgrade, afe exhaust, sct with custom tunes and snow meth. It gets 535hp at the real wheels and has 37x13.5x20 with a 6.5 in lift. It ran 13.50 a couple of weeks ago with a shot of NOS. As for this thing. Its a cute little work car that will have cool wheels

i explained everything...you asked a dumb question that was answered earlier in the thread...i responded that i had already stated why i went w/ 17's ...then you told me about some truck that i dont give a ****** **** about...plus juan at hiboost has gotten almost 700hp out the of 3...so yes someday it could be in the running...im only 19 and in college, that equals no money to spend on car (especially high end engine mods).
