i think every ss/sc needs to lower their car in the nation because these things are just too high from the factory.

Nice rims! I was looking at the same ones but in black. But the weight of them turned me off.

GOD DAMN!! Those are heavy! What is the actual weight of just the wheel? Also, as others have said, what size tire are those? They look really small.

no offence but if you beat a 5.0 **** stain by 2 car legnths i don't hink he was running right or he wasn't racing you very hard. cause i think the race would be pretty even if you both were WOT with the **** stain having the advantage on the bottom end and top end while you would pull on him in the mid range.

IMO a 205 tire is to skinny for a 8" wide rim. And just get some Eibach springs and that should do a nice job in making it lower.

Dude are you sure they weigh 53 lbs each<<< That is unbelieveably Heavy! I got Momos & the rims weigh 17lbs each! You will actually lose time in the 1/4 mile!
