To the op ... Did you just get your car painted? The paint looks alot better when you put the 5zigen's on, either resprayed or polished/wax?
Ya not sure what i am going yet but if i go with the 5zigens i might keep the mesh for back up or let them go. as for the paint it was raining and just washed away the dirt haha

With wider tires and more drop it will start to look good IMO.

the rims are nice but just to wide and dont look right, if you want wide rims that stick out might as well get some 100 spoke 14's and throw some dro's on that thing,

or just go widebody

5zigens FTW. Im older and appreciate a stocker looking car but the zigens are **** and you shouldnt pass them up!. however it would require new tires and a drop(like you have planned). you can sell the old ones to fund that. Good luck, merry xmas

edit: actually on second look if thats how they sit without a drop, leave it! they sit nice. I never want that "perfect tuck" cause then it can't be a town raider cause it scrapes everywhere

Well it looks like you have the 9s up front but i have the 17x10 for front and rear i would not even want the wheels if they dont have the concave on all 4. Plus i do want a wider tire but that would mean i would have to roll my fenders like you did which looks nice but then i mess up my clean t2 body which i dont want to do. Ya some people like the look some dont but i would not use these wheels for the track i have others for that they would be just for cruising plus the car has coilovers on it so lowering it is not a big deal when i get my set up done. Oh well i guess you guys will just have to wait and see then judge when the car is done. thanks for the comments good and bad.

I've got the 5zigens as well also in the 17x10. In the rear I went with a +25 instead of the +12. It doesnt poke as much and is pretty much flush. I went with the 8's in front (stock fenders) in a +35
