Default 17s + 2" Drop, Post em Up!

I cant decide on 17s or 18s, tons of people have 18s but havent seen a lot of people rocking 17s with a drop. If you have DF210s, even better

Thanks in advance!

17" on Hotchkis Stage 1.

Not a 2" drop. It's more like 1.6"

both look really good, i think 17s are the way to go.
i still want the sporty look, and i think 17s pull it off more than the 18"+ ballin look.

^^^Actually, that X2 kit was an impulse buy, I got a good deal and couldn't pass it up. But I have since sold the kit and put the stock lip back on (the pics up top are more current) I now have a kenstyle lip, but I probably wont get around painting it until spring.

1point6, thanks for the compliment, it has been my wallpaper for months.
