Not entirely so. This happened to me because I chose such a low profile tire, which reduced the overall diameter of my wheel/tire. This has the effect of making me have to lower my car more than someone with a wheel/tire of larger diameter to get rid of all the tire gap.

Does that kinda make sense? I'm not sure if I explained that properly.

yeah makes perfect sense. I was going to get 19inch wheels though with low profile tires as well. That will probably make my car sit even lower then yours since you have 20's i think? if thats the case, no way i can get a FI exhaust :( What are those, 30 series tires?

if your going to get 19" rims then get some nice meety tires too! why would you want rubber band tires anyways??

I typically love gold wheels on a black car, but this just doesn't work and I think I know why. The gold center section looks great however when combined with the silver lip it looks terrible. Even in the pictures with just the rims and tires something just looks off. It needs to either be solid gold or solid polished not both it causes it to be too busy and there is too much if a funky contrast. However its your car and if you love it then that is awesome and I am happy for ya! :tup:

Front is 30 and rear is 25 I think. And I think in the future I'll go a bit larger, it is a little too much of the stretched look.

I totally feel where you're comin from. When I first looked at pics of these on the net I had the same reaction. They grew on me though, and they're dazzling in direct sunlight. The gold shines up and is completely reflected by the polished part, makes it look all gold. Then as it starts to become night the polished part does more reflecting of headlights and the wheels have a completely different look. Its almost like a dr jekyll and mr hyde type thing.

Yea I would want to see them in person before I totally wrote them off because pictures never capture how things really look.

I want to give a special thanks to Dean for meeting me up today. Not only did he show me his car/exhaust, but allowed me to drive it to get a better feel of the exhaust tone.. Thanks again Dean.. :eekdance:
