That looks horrible. Why would anyone do that to their thirdgen. I guess I could understand it if they set out to make the ugliest thirdgen ever!

With that said, I think they succeded!

I like big rims, but thats just too far. It doesn't look good when it makes the car look jacked up like that.

l was about to order 20"inch boyd wheels. But after looking at the pictures..... i dunno, but even if the ride height and overall diameter of the rim stays the same, it looks like the car has been lifted an inch or two. Some cars look cool with 20/22 inch wheels, but i have guess our cars don't....

that one looks like it has hydraulics. maybe thats why it looks so jacked up. but it does look kinda "overdone", like a RC car or some cartoon drawling LOL
