that would be my first pick but I have been given these!
So I can't argue with that. 20x10s on the rear and 20x8.5 up front

RE: DOWN SHE GOES :)

Car looks good Photoman, can't wait to see the new rims on it, is there any rubbing on the wheel arches? You might want to look at a new star or just polish that one up a bit

Yea, I agree. You don't need to get a new one though, just get some polish, or some type of cleaner, and your hood star will look as good as new. Also, you may want to take it off of your car to clean it. It is easier that way.

I bought a new hood star, not realizing that my old one was just dirty, and I needed to get some polish, nor soap and water to get the dirt off. (although, mine was kinda damaged, so it wasn't a bad idea at all.

)

But you could get a new hood star, because it looks REALLY REALLY good. All day and especially at night, it really shines.

But all you really should do it polish all that dirt off.

BTW, Those pics look AWESOME!!!

looks real good with the car lowered, makes me want to do the same. hows the ride quality? have you hit any pot holes yet, especially in city driving, you have to have a sharp eye and watch out for pot holes, they can bottom out your ride and do some damage. anyways your car looks awesome with the lowering.

ride is still really good. not as floaty as standard. i've been driving at potholes to test it all out ha ha ha. great.
will be a different story once the 20s go on. that will effect the ride a lot... shall keep you posted
