Thumbs up

WOW nice wheels coach! I agree, they look way better on your car than out! I think without a drop they will still look great! If you choose not to lower it, I think that would be a wise decision if you have stiff suspension on your other rides.

Complements to your EVO!!! I've always loved the looks and the performance that comes with it right from the factory that has undeniable value that can certainly compare to supercars. Nice choice on color, and the wheels on those look very nice.

I know what you have to deal with about the snow....I only drive my SC maybe 4-5months in a year ....pains me a great deal...lol

not bad coach, very nice! i probably like to have more lip action 2- or 3- piece setup, but yours aren't bad. it's kinda funny that since the wheels have no lip, the 20s make it look pretty darn big i think with a little more drop it's going to a look even better

I definatly realize that a drop will make it look nicer but I cant justify all that work and money for it,...since I have so many other cars that are all impossible to drive( too stiff or too low) the only reason I didnt get a rim with the big lip that everyone likes is that I try to keep all my cars unique and classy...classy would have worked with a lip but not unique

You might be a kid but I like your rap. Don't let anyone talk you into going against your instinct.

Hey whats up Coach. We need a pic of them rims with the top down! (And you are right, life is good! LOL).

I say keep it how it is, do not lower. I always thought about lowering my cars too, but it just is not worth the money and work for an inch to inch and a half. I cannot even notice any gap on your car, and that really is the main reason to lower a car with 20s (as most others do it for aerodynamics). My friend has a E46 M3 convertible and lowered it, but that is a car built for speed and was his main thinking in doing so.

I was saying in another thread, that I have seen some SC's with 20s that looked like 17s, maybe because of the tire setup or the rim choice. Yours actually look like 20s, good work. I think rims with lip dont look as big IMHO. My rims have probably a 2-3 inch lip and I think that is why I feel they do not look like 20s at times.
