Default New Rims!...not in

Well, just when I think my rims are in, 5-6 weeks longer from backorder ! In anycase, they are paid for and for those of you that were curious, I photoshopped what I think they would look like. I ordered the 5zigen Hyper5zr's in hyper black in 18". I will also post pics when the friggen rims finally arive (years from now). Tell me what you think!

Thx for the compliments. I really only want to drop the front so it looks like the back. I'm just not into low cars especially since I live in Colorado where it sometimes snows like a foot! Any suggestions on drop height on the front? In any case, I really can't wait for these things to finally arive!

I live in Aurora, but our realtor is on the payroll to find us something in Highlands Ranch! I recognize your car from the forums, so if I see you I will flag you down but most likely I will be pulled over by la policia!

Here's another Coloradoan. WOW!! those wheels look amazing. But i agree, it would look even better lowered. Im on stocks with 1.6 intrax springs but i havent been through a winter with the new suspension yet. I think its still high enough to get around in the snow though but then again im out in lakewood where there's usually not really heavy snow.
