Here is how she used to look....

Falken wheels 19x10.5 all around with 245/35/19 tires stretched...











Here is how she currently sits...

HP Design wheels 19x8.5 with 245/35 in the front and 19x10 275/30 in the rear.









Tell me what you guys think....maybe when the 275's ware out I'll go to 255's then lower it some more.

Thanks all!....I like the wheels alot but as always not really satisfied...but they will do for now....my ultimate goal is to find some nice 3 piece wheels...i really like the concave look....im not really picky on brands so i should have no problems finding them.

Also i didnt spend a dime on these rims... I traded some other black wheels for 5 spoke ruff racing chrome 20s and traded with my neighbor for these.

the new looks 1000x better because you didnt pull off the 19x10.5 off properly, you werent no where near low enough and you didnt have enough camber to rock those..

but the car is sitting proper now sooo to you!
