Well, ugly and monster truck are a stretch. I think the wheels look cool, but to me it sits to high with those lower profile tires. If its in your budget and interest, I think it would look even better lowered and 1" or 2"

But I do like the wheels over the stocks.

sowaxeman I agree, if the car was lowered they would look tight.

I would suggest white striping. Not sure where you can go. Maybe the dealer would be your best bet or a local bodyshop.

RE: The wheels make the car

What size are the ones you put on the car? I am just trying to figure out how far they stick out. I looked at the website and saw they came in various sizes.

RE: The wheels make the car

Agree on the rubbing issue, so it would have to be done carefully - see my Saleen's factory rims and lowering job. They stick out a bit, and are lowered about as low as it can go without rubbing - but, considering the car in question is a V6, lowering will probably also require some tighter suspension.

The Saleen front is so low that you can't get two fingers between the tire and fender well, and the back barely allows 2.

RE: The wheels make the car

Actually I have not done anything yet. I was looking at pin striping. I have a guy the local body shop recommended that I am trying to contact. This guy has a very reputation.

Good luck!
