The rest of the car is a mess...but I honestly dont mind the wheels. They arent too bad. Ive seen a lot worse looking ones that are aftermarket...

Ive seen thirdgen guys run BMW wheels also. I guess the bolt pattern is different, but only but a hair. So they usually work.

They dont fit the car, plus he need a new exhaust, those cars look the best with simple turn downs tucker up, no tips needed.
