I think you should lower it first, then see if people's opinions change.

He's right! Although most of us here dont like it, it shouldnt matter.

As long as you do. And in that regard, keep up the good work.

I personally don't like chrome but don't think it looks as bad as everyone says. I thought 20s were a bit too big for my car. To each his own. If we all had the same taste we would be driving around with Volks on.

It will look 100xs better when your drop it. Keep us posted on the drop.

I think I would stare too. But in shock of how little rubber there is touching under the rim. Also shocked about the size.

I guess I would agree...except isn't he asking for feedback by posting here?

I agree, his car, his choice. But my personal opinion? ga-hettooooo...

I was thinking to get the 20inch rims instead of 19inch. After I see your car, I am sure I will go for 19.

Too big, Chrone wheel.. looks like SUV man.. sorry, not my taste.

I think the car will looks much better after lower for 1.9 - 2 inch.

The tires don't look wide enough. Look how much rim is exposed. Those are some of the worst wheels i've ever seen!! Please discard them immediately!

Don't feel bad about other people comment for your car because the modification is not complete yet.

If the car lower for 1.9 - 2 inch, add a body kit, tint the window, your car will be way different.

I am sure someone will say this is the hottest car s/he ever seen.

keep it up !!

Don't worry about what others say. As long as you like your ride, that all that matters. You're the one that drives it everyday. Once you get your drop I think that will make the rims look better.

It seems that you are using a very low profile tyres, i guess 30. How does this impact on ride quality?
