Sure it would look great with new wheels, lowered, custom paint, big *** brakes, and a shiney Magnacharger under the hood.

I would be very happy to get a new set of wheels...but again, being a college student I don't have the bank roll right now to drop $3-4K on a set of wheels. It's just not a smart move to put all that money into wheels...but for now, I will continue to drive the car in it's current condition and love it.

Sorry ya think it looks like ****...

That thing is stunning! Add some fikse FM/10 wheels and it will literally be the PERFECT car! lol. . . . but seriously that thing looks awesome. I am a college student too and just bought used FIKSE wheels. . . buying 3k+ wheels right now it really really stupid. The firehawk wheels look awesome though so no pressure

o no, i dont think it look like **** man, it looks great.
i was just saying that lowered and wheels would make a world of difference, it would tie it all up.
i think i was born with a problem, anything chrome and wheel gap i dont like hehehe (when it comes to cars that need it hehe, not trucks and all that of course)

btw, nothing wrong w being a college student, i just graduated business school a few weeks ago

Looks good as is. Don't lower or get different wheels like suggested above.

Hawk108, he mentioned someone named Brian did his FRC's so I am thinking (but not sure) they were done by Parbreak who is a member on here. He did mine and does great work.
