That must have been a TON of custom work. Looks awesome though.

Yeah, I really dont care for how 15s look, but if its a track car, theyre great. 15s are cheaper, lighter, and shorter than most wheels. Being shorter gives quite a noticible difference in acceleration because of the gear change.

This man speaks the truth.

Better braking
Better acceleration
Better cornering
Easier on suspension bits
Cheaper to buy
Cheaper Tires

All around a better driving experience.

^^ HAHA yeah, that was last febuary. Indiana weather is rough. Never know what it s going to do. The wheel has been rotated. That was the day I swapped my struts and springs out and it took longer than expected so I was in a rush. The shadows and the fact that the car is on a hill make it look like its riding much higher that it does. Also, that was RIGHT after I took it off jackstands. Its setted a bit.

Dont even start about the dirt. When your paint is that bad and you live on a gravel road, washing becomes useless. Not to mention it was around 20 degrees when this was taken Gotta love livin in the boonies.
