Thumbs up New Look

This is what I want my ride to look like after I save the money. Anyone know the cheapest place to get silver 18" Lowenhart LD-1's and Eibach sportlines?

P.S. Thanks to GSTRANCE for the photoshop work

i don't think they make the sportline kit for our car. you have to get the pro-kit. it still a nice drop and 18's fit perfect. try tirerack.com

I would skip the 18" and go for 19", especially since you are going with bling bling rims. I had 18" first on my car and felt they were too small. I have 19" now and they are perfect.

Yep, your photoshop job is closer to representing 20s on the first-gen GS. 18s won't look anything like that, sorry to burst your bubble!

May the Bling be with you...

I'm still trying to decide if I want it to sit that high. I only had 17's on my Mustang and they looked pretty good. This is a bigger car though, so I'm not sure. I will have to keep bugging you guys for advice.

P.S. GSTRANCE did the Photoshop job, and he did 20's because I forgot to tell him what size to do. Totally my mistake.

IMO, I would do 19's and some other wheel...the LD1's are played out...there are SO many 19" wheels to choose from...

What he said...My sponsor is switching me to 20s, but I can keep the 19s on for everyday driving .

I love the staggered set-up with the 19s, however, the tires are more expensive due to a 19 being a little more rare than the 18s and 20s. But again IMO, well worth it!
