18's, sounds like a lot of the Honda's around here. Not very scary if you ask me.

IMO opinion 18" is pushing it. 17s are nice but hey I think 15 or 16s with some MT ET slicks looks alot more aggresive than any 17 because they dont make mean looking slicks for 17s that I know of. I have the BFG street slicks but I went for rims over tires. If I wanted an aggressive tire I would have gotten 16" rims and MT ET slicks.

I think that Camaro is most aggressive. I think a hood, ground effects, wing can make a car aggressive. My favorite aggressive mod that is the most universal for all cars is wider rims or tires.

Slicks on srett cars just dont do it for me, cus i know its soem ****** sportin fool who thinks just cus he has slicks, his car is badass. Of course theyd ont make decent slicks for 17/18 etc because thier wouldnt be enough sidewall to help absorb the hit, but you can buy a nice set of dot raod race tires fro them, and your car will stick like glue

Well I guess we should fine out if he wants his car to be a 1/4 mile beast or a great handling car before we should say whether he wants 15's or 17's/18's. I think you can get bad *** looking rims in either sizes.

I am not dissing the Vette at all, but it looks stock on the outside. Thats the look I like. Let the aggressive show when the hammer is dropped!

yea the sleeper look is the way to go if u have a fast car if u have a slow car that looks aggresive then ur no better than a r i c e r but if ur car is fast and u want to flaunt it go for it with all of our put ins u should have no problem with a aggresive car

i love the ideas, keep em comin. as for the tires im really split on it, because some meaty directional 18's can look awesome but then again slicks and skinnys are awesome too, wish i had the money for both, and then just decide by what mood im in that night, haha! i do agree though that no matter what the car has to have ***** before looks!

NICE, what did the car have on there orginally? did you have to put a brake spacer, or something on there (I'm a retard when it comes to crap like this on cars)? does your speedo read accuratly? Very cool lookin. you aren't the same guy who was moving across seas and posted pics of the car bein put in the semi to be shipped were you?

Thanks!
The car had the stock 8x16" IROC rims on there before.
No spacers necessary as the rims were custom ordered.
Speedometer reads accurately as the overall tire height is the same as stock (or at least very close).
Yeah, I moved overseas last summer

I don't know about you guys but when I'm at a show or a cruise in, what really makes a good first impression is the way a car sets or it's stance. A lower, not slammed, wide, aggresive look set off by wide tires and wheels. Dark, glass like paint, dark tint and clean body lines..........
