Nevermind, buy some 15s, mount some street tires on them, I'm sure you'll be the talk of the crowd.
For autocrossing? Maybe it'd be fun. for DD i still haven't decided yet. I'm trying to find a rim that is going to be a nice balance of track ready and streetable.

I'm going to try to work on it this saturday again, it's a bit of a to do all by myself so we'll see how long it takes back will definitely be dropped another 1.5 or so and if I do end up with a 17in rim (still a possibility, it just depends on what I find and for what purpose) i'll be running a 50 series tire with a stiff sidewall and it should fill the fender gap nicely

I love my lowered car

I think these cars look a lot more serious with black rims. And black on black... so sweet. Have you considered scuffing up the stock rims and spraying them with a matte black or even a gloss black? I can shoot them for you.

OK, here's the graphite on a black car. Sooo sick.



I think I'll stop posting now. Pretty sure after all of this you're going to say that you want an aftermarket rim anyways. Haha.
