Default 97 SC300...new wheels and drop...

just finished with my car....survived being on the lift during Hurricane IKE...my shop didnt fair too well though...took about 3 weeks to do some engine mods...custom DP and exhaust...breakdown wheels...repaint centers...reassemble wheels..order and mount tires....drop....alignment

Work Rezax II with DDC lip (bought from CL member VIS250P, thanks Michael)
centers repainted gold
18x8.5/9.5 +31

dropped on Tein Basic...until I get better suspension with dampening adjustment.

thanks for the comments.

dAng_bAy: I'll look again to see if the wheels are flush to the fender or not.
the rear fenders are rolled.

I'll post up tire sizes asap.
