i am running on some old skool 16 x 7.5 rims on 205/45/16 tires. in my opinion, if u wanna run 16's or even 15's, you have to run wheels that have lip. i am also running one ton garage 10mm spacer shims in the rear. i highly recommend them. i cant stand how the bb's look that put aftermarket wheels and the rear is all tucked in. it looks nasty
:? they made a huge difference. i am also lowered on tanabe df210s, best drop in my opinion.

someone here on SL has Brock wheels and they look hot as HELL, I thought they were borbets but I found somewhere else he mentioned they were 16" Brocks running 40 series tires I think, let me see if i can find a pic. They are by far the hottest looking 16"s I have seen and what I would rather be running than 18's.. Anyone know where to get a good price on Brock's?

sounds good, but you raised a good question, how much do they cost? The look very expensive on their site..

FYI ... i have BSA 17x7.5 with 215/45R17s which fill the wheel wells nicely. And i have the Tein H tech, wich dropped the box about 1 to 1 1/2 " all around. Hit my link in my sig to see pics.
do you have anymore pictures of your car?? The pic I found was zoomed in on one wheels, could not see the whole side profile.
