ya. good luck with coilovers considering youre 18. not bashing or anything, but a decent set will put you back 1000$, the set i want is 1900 + shipping.

nice man, those rims look tight!

Good luck with the coilovers. They cost a shitload but they're definitely worth it, in my opinion

I almost ended up with those wheels...but I went on another route...you should definitely get that thing lowered next, it'll look 100+ better by the way..are those 17's?...what's the spec of your wheels?...

Nice man. Looks good, I agree it could be a bit lower but they look good already.

I'm just waiting for my tires to get here and my gunmetal 962's are going on-


I ended up with the 17x7 and 17x9 with +38 and +35 offset respectively.

Sportmaxx wheels?
I hope you didn't pay over $600 for all 4.
If you paid under $400 for all 4, then I would consider them a "steal".

Hell, maybe I should revise that...
I've seen 15" SETS of Sportmaxx wheels go for $299 for all 4 on eBay!
