Hope this helps Gave the car a quick detail today, and snapped a few quick photos....put the new wheels on a few months back, IMO transformed the look of the car completely. It feels more nimble and a little quicker...

Vantage looks good, the clear tails really update the look a lot more. Those wheels fit your car really well. What's next?

What size are they?

Which is a good thing, because it was almost embarrassingly bad before!

Damn that is one sexy ride, consider me jealous!

Thanks alot guys..dont think I will mess with the suspension, I realllllly would like to lower it just a bit, but dont think I want to go through the hassle...

nokiaman - they are 20s. As far as whats next, Im done modding this car...prob. move onto something Italian next year...or perhaps an R8..

Brandon - I am in central NJ by RU NB..the roads arent too bad, and these wheels are pretty stout. Also, its not a daily driver so that helps...
