Default new wheels and offroad tires!

finally got my wheels in, 20" MHT stokes with falken fk452 tires (just kidding about the offroad part), it needs to be dropped really badly, im thinking im probably going to get the buddyclub coilovers when they come out. lemme know what you think!

other mods i have planned:

3000k fogs with yellow overlays
6000k lows
oem spoiler
bellezza neckpads and tissue cover
I'm sure ill think of some other stuff along the way

what are the isp wheels? these are a lot more of a pain to clean then my old 5 spokes on my scion, but damn, when they are clean, they are clean, i just spent 15 minutes cleaning wheels alone.

yep, thats something that a lot of people dont think of when deciding on a wheel to get. thats the main reason i didnt get a wheel thats really spokey or has a bunch of rivets around em.

i have 3-piece wheels so there is some bolts around my wheels but other than that my wheels are eeeeeeeasy to clean. i like!

the car looks good but is in desperate need of a height adjustment!! i just cant get into blacked out windows or chrome handles on light color cars! its just not for me.

well, i live in az where it gets to 115+ so blacked out windows is a must. as for the door handles, to each his own i suppose, i thought the car looked too plain without them.

i love ur wheels btw, isnt it hard to clean the machined face?

it takes me about 10 min to wash each of my wheels. i find that the brake dust gets captured between the back of the lip and where the spoke meets (hard to explain without showing you)...so i end up having to "floss" that part with a cloth towel. it's a pita!

yeah, this is my first set of multi piece wheels, they are a nightmare to clean where the face meets the barrel.

my wheels have machined faces but before they are installed in the chrome barrels....they are powdercoated clear!! its nice, all i have to use is windex or equivalent and they are shiny as crap!

4" rear lip!
