The wheels seem more VIP-style than what you normally see on a 2IS - that can be a tough combo to pull off. Slamming it more and adding a kit could help.

I do like the limo tints, though.

thanks everyone for the comments. i had the front lower but had to raise it do to the fact the tires would hit the fender if i were to turn. Does any one know where i can get my fenders modified in SoCal?

I think it might look better with a kit.

It's an older style wheel that I have alway liked and still looks good.....but not on a smallish sport sedan. This wheel looks much better on a big car.

To make it look better paint the centers black.

I agree with what most are saying. You got a nice setup minus the wheels. Those wheels look better on bigger cars and look real good on bigger cars with air.

Yeah, It was a gamble but overall I think it looks better in person.

Loks cool. a wheel you won't see often. More VIP style. A kit and visors would look tight!
