New Rims

Well here they are.
Voxx 17"s
I probably should have gone bigger, like 18's or 19's, but I got a great deal on craigslist.

Well here they are.
I also need to clear my headlights now.

Not my style..... it looks like it makes your car cheap. Because they are such a great deal does not mean they were ment for your car.. sorry

maybe if they were 19's or 18's even, with a drop, they would look nice. are you going to drop the car? maybe they would look better when the car is dropped. well, it's ur car and if it makes you happy, then who cares.

I did tons and tons of research before i decided to buy the wheels. But it is a learning curve and hopefully it doesnt happen again.

Stock look better than that IMO. I wish there were stock wheels in 18in or 19in even. I think they flow so well with the car.

Hmm, looked at the picture a few times. They aren't that bad. Would look better if they were bigger perhaps?

Wow...someone that actually admits that they don't dig it either when everyone gives their honest opinion. Glad to meet someone else who admits defeat and doesn't get defensive. Great job!

Yeah, put the stocks back on and just wait for the right deal on another set. There's a guy that just posted some pics of his WDP with some 19" XXR 522 in gold...man they are sick. Maybe an option?

Anyway...not a fan of the rims, but love your attitude.

Alright guys, thanks for the opinions!
I came to the conclusion that they DID make the car look cheap, and that I should probably start dealing drugs and pimpin' hoes out of it LOL

So i got new rims
Nissan SE-R rims. I like them. Ill post pics in another thread.

Good thing you ditched the voxx's, but to the SE-R wheels, you went from a 1/10 to a 3/10......

I agree with the others...nice neighborhood...As long as you like it who cares what anyone else says...You should lower it some if you really like those wheels.

Just because something fits onto the car doesnt mean it belongs there. Nice try but those have to go. I have seen 18's and 19's for sale for what those probably cost you.

SOme dude had a set of 18 or 19in XXR's (staggered) and that was perfect. 17 looks really small on your car.
