Nice choice of wheels with great offsets! You will need to drop it soon! I got my first set of wheels less than 2 months ago and thought that's the only mod I'll be doing to my car, but aftermarket wheels don't look good on stock suspension since the tires are so thin.... since then I added coilovers, body kit, red-outs, 2nd set of wheels... and there is no turning back ...

yes it is in Indian oaks estates. chatsworth is called pornocoupia cause its the **** capital of the world.

i don't know what it takes to live here. a smart business man i guess, because thats what my father is. haha

Thanks for all the comments

I do plan on getting more mods, its just money is hard to come by and coilovers cost a grip. hopefully when i'm done with school for a little bit I can go to work full time for a couple of months and save up more money than.

I was debating on powder coating my rims black and painting my lips red to match my car, but i think with all that work I'm better off getting new shoes (TE-37's time attack!) ahahah

The only problem I'm worried about w/ dropping is

i'm already rubbing when I turn the wheel 1/4 of the way. that is the only time it rubs and it rubs on this little plastic thing that sticks out of the fender lining more than usual. it's annoying. and i really don't want to run a 235/30 or even a 225/30. i read that some people do something with a heat gun to melt the plastic. will this help or will rolling the fenders help? because I want to slam it and low as i can without major rubbing issues. minor rubbing i'm fine with.

the homes in my area about from 5-8k sq. ft. however the homes i live in are custom track homes, the area itself has some sick *** multi million dollar custom homes. if you think the home i live in is nice, u'll be amazed by the other homes. Cedric the entertainer, smoky Robinson, and a player from the chargers lives within of quarter mile from me.
