Its going to have to be raise... =\ Just so I have clearance for under the car. I pretty much damaged everything on my way back home...was even worse when I had all 4 of my factory rims in the car. We'll see how it'll look.

this gives me great hope that i can make the rims that i've had my eyes on for awhile work, especially since the ones i like are 16's and i have a front lip, so i'll pretty much be touching the ground if i end up going with the 16s..

I dislike the 15's. Doesnt fill the wheel wells to me even though you're low. Would look so much better if they were 16/17's. But as long as you like them thats what counts!

Yeah I guess I made a mistake of the 15s, didn't know it was gonna be that small, but its just gonna have to be something I'm going to work with until I get lucky again to get a new set. My dad wants me to sell my factory rims (For his own gambling purposes. -_-) So if I strike enough again I'll go for 16s. Like I said before (Not sure if I did mention before) I only got the rims because I was mainly looking for tires, kinda figured if the tires are going to cost just as much as new rims + tires, why not just get the rims and tires for the mean time?

Whats the next specs I should go for, for next time? I like this aggressive show. Learning that I need to roll my fenders though, ripped off the rubber lining in the rears. Lol.

^...That's what she said



but seriously the CL is looking a lot better, and at least you know that you can pull off that style of wheel and color looks amazing against the green of your car.
i can't wait to see what it looks like with some aggressive 17s or something hopefully the same style and def the same color
keep it up, and never stop the scraping

Man vs the height of my car.

Manhole = 1
Me = -9000

Might of dented the cat all the way back to the exhaust. ]: But thanks though, I love the stance of what the rims portray.

I know. ]: I only got them for the tires though, I really needed to change them. I'll do some research for some 16s or 17s.

Here's the rest of the pictures my friends took. Lol.














My friend's driveway owned me after we got the rims on, I had to raise the back a bit because my muffler scraped pretty bad coming down.

A fender roll is essentially flattening/rolling the little inner lip that fenders have, while a pull is just like it sounds. You heat the metal and actually pull the whole fender out a bit. Paint chips are fairly common if you're not careful, so I'd recommend getting it professionally done with a shop you trust, if you're thinking about doing it.

For reference the shop I had my fenders done charged me $50/corner, rolled the fenders and gave them a slight pull.

Pretty much. Lol. I don't why anyone would want to revert back though, it's a perk to have that extra room for better fitment.

Gold and dark green are one of my favorite color combos. In some of the photos they actually look to be larger than 15's. Looks good.

I'd be careful on the fender pulling. More often than not, I see cars with that awful flare right at the edge, which completely ruins the lines of the body.

Haha thanks, for sure they're 15s, unfortunately hard to travel anywhere without hardcore rubbing the tires or loud scraping over a small speed bump.

As for Fendering pulling, I was actually asking what was the difference between them. Didn't want to choose one and make a mistake, so I wanted to ask here first. I have a dent on my right fender, was hoping a roll or pull can take that out. What would you suggest?
