Talking THIS is the look I'm going for on my Viper blue TA. Let me know what you think!

Original



IForged Classics. 19" front/ 20" rear sitting on Air Ride Technologies suspension. I'd have a bigger lip in the back since the car is tubed and I'm doing a narrowed rear-end. It'll have 345's in the back for sure.




I know it's not your norm, but I like being different and going a bit wild.


Let me know what you guys think.

No rubbing.

Those are cheap wheels on it now. 18's all around.

Air ride = No speed bump problems.

Love the color, love the wheels, but too low in my opinion... I can't stand slammed cars.

like the color, like the wheels, like the bags.

my rule of thumb is nothing bigger than 18s on fbodies, but if you wanna go big, do it big then

dont forget the hood ornaments

I guess I should have mentioned I won't be driving it that low. That would be the lowered parked setting. Driving would look just like this.





I think slammed cars look absolutely sick when parked.

I would say 19s all around as well, otherwise it looks good.

i used to agree with this, but certain rims call for larger sizes. With the right car/rims/stance, 19's and 20's can look really good.

The problem is that most of the people running 20's throw on some shitty looking, gaudy chrome rims

Yeah, it mostly apples to just wheel swaps, when guys do this its almost like you have to go bigger to justify it

Very true. I also happen to have good taste in wheels. This car was my inspiration. Those are Iforged Aeros 19/20 combo on air.

It'll have air struts in the front and bags in the rear. That's what the kit is.

Ditto.

It would look like a DUB Magazine die cast car you buy at Toys R Us.

I like em' big and wide. (I'm talking wheels here).

The car is not a daily driver. It's a show car that has a bit of go.

Here's under the hood.
