The wheels are nice. Not amazing.

But you like them, and keep in mind this is the Appearance/Cosmetic section. What'd you expect?

You wanted cheers for the time spent on show wheels but not show quarters panels/bumpers?

i think they look more like an import wheel... if the spokes were flat instead of bowing out and they had a nice fat lip on them, then i'd be more interested... still a nice car though

Honestly I expected those wheels to look a lot better mounted. Wider lip on back would be nice too. Just because you race doesn't mean you have to let rubber build up like that. Last time I went to the track I had no tape so I raced my *** off with rubber on the fenders, dirty wheels, and bugs on the front but I didn't leave it there. I cleaned it off but I guess thats what "waxers" do.

So if some of us are waxers, would that make him a greaser?

The wheels are pretty nice, I can't past the ugly sidewall design of those tires though.

jesus christ why is everyone crying about rubber on his fenders? at least it shows he actually DRIVES his car. I'm not a big fan of the rims IMO, not enough lip. they are nice though

Theres ALOT of people here who "drive" their cars hard but still take car of its
appearance so theres not 15 lbs of rubber on one fender . Take pride in your
car its not that hard
