Congrats on the new rims

I agree

I guess lowering a car automatically classifies an individual as young or old. I guess I'm young again! Woo Hoo!

Not really feeling the wheels but the car will look better with a drop. The Tanabe NF210 is perfect for mild drops and luxury ride so that you won't have problems in the future. You will need front tires every 12-14 months but that's the trade-off for looking good.

Thanks all.

Not sure if I want to drop it or not yet. I like the stock look, although I see most here don't. I may change my mind in the future.

There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with!
From bikes, to trains, to video games,
It's the biggest toy store there is! Gee whiz!
