It's alright, IMO, these few things that would of made it off the rictor:

#1 Because of the style of the rim, the rim looks smaller than it actually is, which make's it look smaller in the tire well.

#2 The sidewall is too big on the tires, it throws off how big the wheel is, making it look smaller.

#3 I would of gone with 18"s being that even 18"s look small on the cl.

#4 Too much fender gap. Ideally, you'd want the top to half of the tire tucking the fender well.

Don't get me wrong, I like those wheels, I just think the cl should be on 18"s. Also, wider wheels always look better.

not to be a hater, but i do agree with baka. i love the look and research&design invilved with those rims, but they do look small. I have 18's and thought they were too little, so i upgraded to 19's. They do look very clean and oem, and i know that is your image, so they fit you perfectly.

Those center cap looks weak compared to the other caps they have.

yeah same here, but i will see when the chrome ones arrive. i really think they will make the polished lip jump out and punch you in the face. i like the rays ones alot though. they are just so f'n cool.

wow, looks sic VXCL. looks really nice. I think a nice set of fender clares would finish it off right now. Not HUGE fender flares, but ones with a good enough size to make the wheels look tucked in.

Either way looks great.

wow! your car color is blazing. increase that rims size and put some clear corners on there and you'll be one of the sweetest (if not THE tightest) 1st gen ever.

did you recently got your car painted. your black paint look sweeter than the regular stock black paint. it's shinning and perfect! what do you call it?
