Its not that is looks “ghetto”, “hood” or even “RICE”…the pic just isn’t done in proportions. The wheels look too big for what the drop is. I just had to say that because ghetto and rice have to be the most over used words on car forums. Just like to see it taken down a notch. But if they actually looked like 18’s and not 21’s then it would look nice.

Far too low, the wheels are far too big. It looks silly.

If the VIPSTYLES group/forum is your cup of tea then go for it. For me, every car has an optimum ride height visually. In my opinion, wheels tucked under the fender and ride height increased due to way oversized wheels is . Just my

at damn near every post in this thread...

Not ASPEC wheels? Yes, they are.

Wheels too big? It's a photoshop, he made them look huge...18's would not be that big.

Too low? It's an air ride (or made to look like it has an air ride). When they're parked, they're dropped to the ground...that's what people with them do.

I'm thinking the main purpose of the PS is to see how the wheels (style) would look on the 1G RL, and they look pretty good on there .

Being that this is not TL related, this thread is better suited for the RL forum or Car Talk. Feel free to post there. Thanks!
