i got some new wheels again and like the drag look of 2 differnt kind but am tossing the idea of matching all around. i hate how the front looks bigger than the rear they are both 17's what do you guys think.

looks ok, its just not my style personaly, but if you match the rear with the fronts then
She will look REAL good! Still not bad though as you have an extremely clean car thats not ragged out, its just simply not my style, Sorry. Its totaly up to you what you want though.

You need to lower your car and get a taller tire in the back.

Re: what do you guys thing

front wheels look awesome. id say lower the front a bit, get a smaller version of that wheel and throw some more rubber on the rear ones, gives it that old school muscle look..

I've loved the looks of those A/R wheels (your fronts) longer than I can remember - Always a good choice IMO. I too would go a bit taller on the rear tire, tastefully done renditions of old-school rake are always welcomed!
