Default Pics of car with new shoes

Guys,

Here's some new pictures of the car with 19's that I bought from MikeLoc.

Will try and take some better ones but was in a rush.

I was planning on lowering the car but there isn't really much of a gap - what do you think?







Peace,
Jonny

Ha ha! I was waiting for you to post up some pics man! Looks good

Just get some spacers to push the rears out a little and you're all set. Doesn't even look like it needs to be lowered any from the pics, lucky for you. Glad you like them and that they arrived safely man.

Nice Johnny. Been waitin to see those. You're not going to need much lowering at all (not like me at least).

Yeah,

financially I don't think it is worthwhile for $500 to lower the car less than an inch.

Peace,
Jonny

Johnny,
The car looks great with the new wheels. I love silver wheels on a Platinum SC! It looks killer! I just found out that my new wheels shipped today! Can't wait to get 'em put on. Now that spring is here I'm getting the itch. It's that damn SC itch. Can't help but scratch it.

Car looks great. Love seeing another platinumsc rule. I disagree with your statement though. I lowered my car only an inch after getting the tein cs and it makes a heckuva difference. Thankfully the gap isn't that much, you can get away with it as is.....until it hits you to do it.....and it will.

the wheels look good. A small spacer in the rear would really push that wheel out to the fender and really help complete the car! (sorry: Im just really not a fan of wheels that sit in the fender like that...- and this is my opinion) Other than that, the style of the wheel looks really good!!!

looks good. I recommend lowering it about an inch or so.. Believe me that inch will make a big difference
