I love the way they look, but they do rub in the rear if I have people back there. I'm gonna have my quarter panels cut soon.

Nice rims... definitely made a difference to the car... it's a beauty now.
By the way, you said that the rear does rub a little if you have people in the back.. I wonder if you have droped your car... and how low did you drop?

Thanks

Looks phat!! I really like those wheels. Once that baby is dropped, there is nothing more to do to the car. Nice Job.

Thumbs up

The Corsica's are tight and once you get it dropped, it is going to be nasty...

Really? Everyone that seen them so far likes them. You're the first person who didn't. I'm gonna drop it soon. I dont like chrome wheels BTW. Everyone has different taste so no offense taken.

Like I said, I dont like chrome and I'm gonna drop the car as soon as I get my qaurters cut. Anyway, I just want to let you know that your wheels are gonna rub. My car isn't even dropped and and they rub. 45 is the highest offset they come in and that's what I got and you probably got the same ones. Good luck.
