Default dailydrive switched up wheels again...

Update of the car @ import alliance (08.02.10)







sides and rear coming soon.

(06.03.10)

picked up some 20" DPE's recently. my favorite of the four sets i had. i wasn't able to have it sit the way i want it to.. so i turned to the forum for some help.. and thanks again everybody & mIStaboi.

this is how it sits... it is in dire need of a lip kit!

I like the rear being that slammed, but either lower the front more or raise the back a little bit cause it looks a little off to me like that, maybe it's just me...

^ is not just you, I see it too, the rear is a little lower than the front. Great looking rims.

Believe it or not, the rear 1/4 panels sit lower than the front fenders. That's why most drops always look lower in the rear. Good thing you're on coils so you can adjust it.
