Nice wheels, though. I always liked Minilite-type wheels. They look good on almost every car.

I totally agree! Looks kinda odd with the low sidewall, especially since they're 15s...

Yeah, it looks odd, but on the other hand, it's verging on old-school socal lowrider territory with little wheels with little stretched tires, so it's not that bad.

I like the wheels but not sure why you went with such short tires. A nice set of 195/55s would have been sweet.

Love the color combo and custom caps. Would have gone with 50 series tires tho, and camber.

It is weirding me out looking at the side profile pix. It's like it's really low but the wheel gap has remained the same as stock.
Have you notice any added takeoff performance with the lower gearing from the tires?
