i see that. lol. any rough estimates at how far its lowered though. I'm thinking of doing a 1.5 inch drop and trying to see if I'm going to need 17's to be flush.

Wish I would've would've gotten some wider wheels, and in 18's, especially considering the price I paid for my equips. Oh well, they'll be a good down payment for some better ones later down the line

Hm fair enough. I do agree that we need aero of some kind. I'm trying to figure out what route to go. Stock stuff is cheap, and subtle, but like Origin or GP just look plain awesome.

Macs car did look awesome on 18s. I'd be curious to see S5 T2 aero and slammed on 18s.

Oh gotcha. Aren't those BMW wheels? And what kit is that?

I was thinking about some Varrstoens, either the TE37 knock-offs in 17 or the CE28 knock offs in 18s. I need some kit love, and boost.

My street car has 18" varrstoens, I would never buy 17's after seeing the 18's and I literally hate te's in every way possible.
Oh word. There was another white FC that has BMW wheels on it that I mixed up. I always remember seeing picture of it on XD9s

Why no TE love? Haha

17s look good on any fc
18s look good on kitted fc's and even then its not a guarantee, (those sparcos look awful ).

Of course the design of the wheel comes into play, for example those m3 18's youre referring to look very small for 18's and they work fitment wise. Those sparcos look more like 19's and even w/the kit don't look good.

Do you know the aero? Shine lip and diffuser, I'm thinking. Not sure on the skirts.
