New rims, .... not as thrilled as I thought I would be... Opinions?
 

So I finally got my new rims and got em on.... and.... :dunno:... Idk.... I guess Im not as thrilled as I thought Id be... I snapped a quick pic but Ill get a better one tommorow..... Whatdyall think bout em...?

clear corners and some blue lugs would really bring it together

This. ^ Thank you Foxey. ;)

And LOWER the car. It will look completely different. :D:

this ;)

thank you, thank you! and for my encore, i will caution against painting your calipers anything bright. cause it's tarded.

do these have the TPMS in them???
if you lower the car and tuck those wheels, you will fall in love, i promise

rims are nice and i think instead of clear corners you should go with a black stealth corners since you got a blue/black theme going on. maybe even tinted taillights if your into that

^ lol pretty much the route i took with my car

Yeah the picture did make those corners stick out an odd ammount.

I was planning on getting:

Rear areo flares
front lip
(I already have blue lug nuts on their way)
clear corners

and I was considering loweing it but can anyone tell me how much a lowering kit will cost?(for an average / lower average $ one)



Thanks for all the suggestions!

slam that puppy and it will alter the look.

The more I look at it the more I agree, I definitly need to drop it, I snapped some more pics(below) I guess theyre not as bad as I initially saw them as, but definitly needs some touchups.

How hard is it to install lowering springs?

Not hard at all really, just time consuming. Just make sure you have the right tools for the job and a solid day set aside. My first time installing suspension was when I installed my stance coilovers. There really isn't anything that you can mess up, its pretty straight forward.

lowering it could be as easy as buying lowering springs such as the Tein S -Tech springs. that will help eliminate a majority of that wheel gap.
Those run between $200 and $250.

some people take the opportunity to upgrade the struts as well since you'll need to remove the strut to install the springs but that's up to you and your budget. I used to have Koni Struts + Tein S-Techs and the drop was quite nice.

If you want even MORE control over ride height and dampening, then you could consider coilovers but a quality kit will cost you around $2,000.


moral of the story: lowering your car is quite simple and can either be relatively affordable or quite expensive. It all comes down to what YOU want to do with your car, what your expectations are, and how much money you're willing to spend to get there.

Go with black lugs. and coilovers imo.

bren5279, Here are a couple of quick chops with your car dropped :)

Echoing what others have said, blue lug nuts and drop would complete it. By the way, are those Rota p45r's?

Blue lug nuts or black lug nuts and a blue pinstripe. Lower is a must.

rims themselves are not bad. Just need to do a few of the things already mentioned

It's a start
Listen to the good advice already given here, and you'll be well on your way to a finished look

First thing is drop it! it will 10x better i promise.

then get a set of clear corners, then the stock front air dam/lip will really set it off.

I would say, stealth corners, blue or black lugs like everyone has said. Drop it.. and maybe a set of black fender strakes. Other than that, the window tint looks sweet as it is.. But do what you want man. I think the blue lugs would give the wheels a little character instead of being a huge black void.. but that is just me.

Say no to fender strakes

To each his own Tweek. I like the Polished strakes I have on my VR. It just adds a little aggressiveness to it. It was just a thought I figured I would throw out there.

I'm sure its going to look as sexy as this pics.

your not welcomed in my shop again... lol
