I liked them better before, but it's not too bad now.

i think the car looks great but it would benefit from some bigger rims. However, rims are expensive so maybe look into some enkei rims which are more descently priced than volks.

-1 for modding the OEM 17's...you could at least have moved to the 18's for a better tire sidewall and new tire options

well first off, it cost me all of.. 40$ for paint and clearcoat.. lmao. #2 i'm going all engine mods first.. so after i get enough money for my boost im buying new rims, for now i just wanted something tha tlooks nice, thus far nothing but compliments in person.. i guess you guys just aren't into being different ;\, if you're stuck with something for a while, might as well make the best of it.. if i got stock 18's that costs more money for no reason when im getting new wheels later anyways.. so make the best of whta you got now.


i mean seriously, whats with all the hating, why can't you just say :" nice job ont he paint job" or "the paint job sucks" all the other comments are so completely worthless.

paint looks good... but why the bodykit if you are concentrating on engine mods? did you buy the z with it on already?

I just dont get the whole body kit stock wheels thing, that to me is the
definition of rice at its finest, you dont have the money fine, do the
wheels first then the body kit. Its like a hot looking chick all dressed up
and wearing sneakers! Just my two cents.

Unfortunately, a $40 paint job probably looks like a $40 paint job. Roll with those wheels for a couple hundred miles and you'll see why you should have spent money to have them professionally done at the minimum.

like the old saying goes..."whatever floats your boat"

if you're going to keep those for a while, get some spacers asap...that offset looks horrid.
