Definitely a "holy ****" moment when I saw these pics. I think it looks bad *** just the way it is, the size of the rims, the rims themselves, chrome lip included. Congrats.

Op some people just hate on bigger wheels thats all,really your new wheel setup is prob lighter than the stock setup lol,on such a heavy car i dont know why ya think a few pounds a wheel would help anyway lol,it does look really good,be proud thats a killer looking ride,unless its a racecar there is no way i would put 18s on there,they look way to dinky imo,i mean 24s are a lil big but still these cars can pull them off without looking strange,i still love the fast lane ss that had 24s

Is this better.

I know that, but stock cars are stuck with 15" wheels with huge sidewalls. I don't understand how people can live with poor handling and riding cars. I like my cars to be fun to drive, I couldn't care less how it sits sitting in a parking lot filled with ricers complimenting the rubberband tires.

Well, we all don't want or need the same things. I hope your car is serving its purpose!!

Nice choice on the wheel face selection. I also like the satin black with polished loops. However, I think the car sits a bit too low and the tires are way too narrow.

I disagree, it looks great as is! The only appearance mod I would consider is maybe some stripes on the sides of the cowl..

Looks perfect. Best looking 5th Gen I've seen to date. Don't listen to the naysayers. You can only push a car so hard on the street. The performance difference between an 18" and 22" setup on the street isn't noticeable other than traction... if you don't know how to modulate the pedal LOL.

Thanks for sharing
