Well I meant in the sence of them being so low that they are a smaller diameter then stock, then they would throw off your speedo. Heck, I went from 15s to 17s with 245/45/r17s and my speedo is still on! The tires are not what I would consider low profile though. I ment like only 1.5 to 2 in side walls...lowlow profile tires!

I feel a hood before rims. Many people do rims for cars that don't even deserve them....

Plus, in my area, the average joe notices rims far less then they notice a hood. Think about it, the same type of car has how many different wheel packages....

But most average cars have maybe 2 hood options (I think the 3rd gen Camaro has 3 or 4 stock hoods).

I changed my hood and suddenly MANY people noticed without me saying a word.... Complete strangers complimented me on the hood (and some people who are not car buffs)....

I've seen people with rims and it's only the car buffs that notice.

But, I'm partial, just look at my sig
