i think it looks good... it's just that the car is still stock. Throw on the OEM kit and give it a drop and itll look tight.

My car is already dropped (H&R). There is only 1 finger gap in between my tire and the wheel well. I am running 225/40/18s

I prefer the car without the kit though I might get one if I find one at a decent price.

They dont look half bad. Not my first choice though.
I think it would defin look a bit better w/ the kit.

I think the reason why the wheels don't look right is the fact that the tires aren't shiny and those red calipers stick out like a sore thumb. They aren't right for the car, but I've seen a lot worse.

I appreciate your comments. This is right after I got my springs installed so no tire gloss yet. The painted red calipers were part of the high end sports car look I was going for so they are suppose to "stick out" My next mod will be irotors, icebox or aem, and then carbon fiber interior kit

you have a kit, so it looks a lot different, but his gap looks like a 1-2finger gap

photography is everything

take a 3/4 shot from a front angle, shine up your wheels and tires and see the difference
