1FastT2, have any pics of a side view of the car? I'm considering 18's for my car and I'd like to see what they look like. So far the only pics of 18's I can find are with cars with stock suspension which make them look like raised up trucks.

here are my rims, they're 8 years old, simple 5 spoke.

16x 7.5" all around with 205/50 series rubber. I wanted 225, but it wasn't worth the extra 4 pounds of unsprung weight per wheel. Just a weak little NA. A lot of people think they're 17's.

I like this man....looks very clean. BTW--what kind of lip is that? Looking to dress up my GXL a little. I am doing the same thing to my front bumper....already cut out the trim in the opening and now I need to glass it up and get it smooth.....looks ghetto right now haha

thanks, not bad for 62,000miles. I bought it from the original owner, who my family knows. So I had seen the car around for a long time.

It's in storage now. I've only driven it 12,000miles in the last 5 years.

It's a copy of the demonspeed spoiler that MikeL builds or use to build. For the front bumper, I didn't have to glass anything back in. I made a tape line that flowed the way I wanted the opening to look and followed that with the dremel cut off wheel. I then switched to a sanding drum to even everything back out. I was pleased with the results

And it should be clean...only has 45,000 miles on it

I really LOVE EvilRotor's wheels. Where did you get them?

Here's the stock wheels on my GXL:



and here are the BBS wheels on my 'vert. I really want some TSW wheels (Like EvilRotor)'s on my GXL once she runs again....



Or these wheels (They're BlackFC)'s....

Where's a good place to look for TSW wheels? I went to tsw.com but it wasn't very helpful....
