Poppa got new shoes......and a shift knob
well i finally got my new wheels installed today. 18x8 enkei ekm3 in hyper silver. sorry for the crappy pics but my digi cam was broke by my two year old. before and after, what u guys think?


and my blox shift knob i got for cheap.


opinions welcome, and yes i know i need to drop it lower, its only got the aspec suspension. doesnt look bad on the rear but the front sits to high.

^ LOL that's messed up bro but funny.

Looking good OP, what's the specs on them? I think they may be too small, or you need to lower your car more?

I liked your old wheels better. The new ones look smaller and too many spokes. But as long as you like them!

Your interior is messy.

sorry if i offend you
1. so what if you have a gov't job does that make you special - no it doesn't.
2. you can't tell from the name on the bus that it is a school for disabled students.

lighten up a little.

Detailed? Just pick the trash/papers up off of the passenger side floor.

Side note, I'm a freak about the interiors of my cars. Every time I get in/out my wifes car I have to throw her trash away because it bugs the hell out of me.

i can take a joke about myself, so call me a douschebag all you want, but if you worked with mentally disabled kids all day and heard some of the shitty things people say about them you would probably understand more where im coming from. i think it happens way too much in this day and age , people calling them retards and such. so sorry if i took offense but you would understand if you worked with me. and btw what kind of suspension do you guys think i should go with?

I would recommended springs. And if you feel that it is not low enough then go with Megans, Basics or HT specs.

ok moving along then,

if your budget permits i say get a set of coilovers, since they have and adjustable height you can set it where you want. but if it doesnt i believe tiens s-tech would do.
