in the back they are 285-30-18 pirelli's....i got them both for $60 so i figured they'd be ok for now. The fronts are 245-45-17, i need smaller sidewall fronts b/c i think it looks kinda goofy.

they would look better w/ a polished lip IMO, but for 150, you can't beat that

Hell of a deal for $150. They need some contrast though. A polished lip would make them look 10x better.

You robbed the guy for $150. I like those wheels on black cars but I just think that all NBM cars should have chrome wheels. Oh yeah and I would lower it, even before you pay your bills. The creditors will understand.

Not bad for 150 but a bigger rear tire like a...40-45 sidewall would look better.

They look alright. Looks like your exhaust wants to go lower but your car can't at the moment.

Looks good.

Now take care of those brakes! All that rust looks terrible behind there.
