Enkei Imola? Looks nice, but I really think the silver wheels would've looked great on the silver car. It's kind of hard to get a good feel for those wheels in that pic. Do you have any other pics?

^ first, i think that's tit gray, not silver

second, lower the car

third, w/ new wheels, you should give the WHEEL specs, along with the tire specs

fourth, is that a typo or did you really get 245/45?? that might be why it kind of looks like a monster truck

fifth, i do like the wheels, the stance is just off...

How grippy are those tires?


Be careful as you might tip over around corners at high speeds.

Drop it just a bit. Plenty of lowered cars in the PACNW so no excuse

What is your reasoning for not dropping it? No need to slam it, just get some aftermarket springs.

My bad...Tit gray it is! Still, better pics would be cool, after you drop it, of course!

If the wheels specs are anything more than modest, I'd be careful as lowering it may cause him to rub the front fenderliner away. Pdxhak knows what I'm talking about.

i got that from a parking garage, until i get a second vehicle to park everyday, its gunna wait. its bound to happen again. and these rims are saving me money every time i buy tires, and having them the same size to rotate them makes em last longer, and lighter for better gas milage. So the rims will pay for themselves. one thing at a time, next is my neon light steering wheel and matching spoiler.
