Well thanks : ) Geeeesh that was cool!

Thanks GR for iming me and letting me know about this post. Since I was just logging on from work I can't post any pics right now.

Since you posted about it maybe I should post some pics of it when I get home from work on this thread.

I was going to post some more pics in the spring when I get the Inrax springs on it. It should lower it 2 1/8" alll the way around.

Also, I will have the beige/black leather ss seats in it then. New carpet and headliner, and a new Alpine stereo. That is about all I can spend on it for 2006. I will get those pics up when I get all that done 1st week of April.

Until then I will post some newer pics from last November. Thanks for the interest. Its awesome to know people like your car.

Shawn

lol I remember when you were insisting that you would never lower it not one inch. Good to see you had a change of heart that should really finish off the look.

He's got the Boze Stixx in 19" and 20" out back. I'd like to know what size rubber you've got wrapped on them though.

Typically around $650 a wheel...In addition, tires are near the $250-$350 range ea. But you should never have to buy wheels again. And they can be custome fit and sized to your wants.

BlueZ That was retail value... I didn't but would have paid that much for these. They made me a fantastic deal because my friend placed an order for some for his Mustang GT the same day.

I highly recomend BOZE, they are well made and balance out like you wouldn't believe with almost no weight at all. Actually a quarter all the way around. For a large wheel thats freakin sweet.

These cheap *** MB Motoring Discount Tire 20's I had on my SUV... I returned ( they bought them back)after a years worth of hassel on my SUV they stuck 14 ounces to balance them out. Weights would fly off and they were just junk!

My only wheel advise is...With anything you get what you pay for in the long run. If you plan on keeping your car until your old, then just make sure you save for the wheel you want whatever that might be. Take some time to think about the look you want, how the car will be used, and go for it.
