Suspension and wheel / tire specs, please.

From what I CAN SEE. You could have gotten A LOT better sizing, offset wise, also needs more drop.

Fronts could use a small spacer but rears look nice.

XXR's are a good wheel for daily if you're on a budget.

I like it, it looks mean. Once again not my flavor but good choice. Hopefully your rear settles a bit.

I almost bought these a while back with the silver rivets, but they look pretty good with gold rivets on your car. Like someone else said a spacer upfront would help the look too.

I like the wheels, and tire size is good. I'd probably bump the sizes up a little bit next time since you have the space to add width.

yup,looks good fer the cheap.

And with that in mind... call XXR and order the red rivet set ( they are removeable and replaceable btw) ... semi gloss black your door handles ( wrap vinyl or trim black paint) and it would tie in far better IMO.

Agreed. After my car was done in green with black wheels, the silver looked out of place. We did the door handles, roof, and some hood accents in black to bring it all together. I think it came out well.

Looks good and I like the wheels, but it needs more offset man!
