Not bad! Do you have plans to lower your car in the future?

Personal Opinions: If you're gonna make one, say it. That would be like saying I had sex with your sister and I loved it; you should have sex with your sister and you will love it. It doesn't work the same for everyone!! Everybody gets to have their own opinion.

In my opinion, it looks really good; just fine the way you have it now.

thanks for the input i know alot of people say they dont like chrome. I thought about maybe some pros for a drop. the wheel gap isnt so bad now . Im not sure yet its my daily driver so comfort is alittle more important to me.

lightweight is what 17lbs ? as far as ride quality i know the lower profile and wider tire improved the cornering and overall feel of the car in the turns.i dont feel like im draggin a box of rocks or that the brakes are overloaded or the shocks are unable to control the weight, would lighter be better hell yea! but like I said before I like em.

The Centerline RPM wheel in the 17 inch size is only 13.5 lbs , almost 10 lbs lighter than the ones on the above car...
