Default New Wheels installed

Installed my new (to me) wheels today. Thought I would share some pics. I plan to lower the car about an inch front and back. The wheels look great on the car, but have some curbing on them. I will get them fixed and put some sensors in so I can get rid of the annoying light on the dash.

Overall, these wheels really make the car stand out more than the factory wheels.

Stock:





New 20" wheels (Moda MD3A's)

Thanks. The top stripes are from JAP and the bottoms are AM's. I plan on getting the stripes painted on at some point, but probably not for 8-10 months. I am going to hold off on new mods for a bit.

Looks great, what type of wheels are they? Looks like you went up in size (20s)?

They are 20" Moda MD3A's. One has some curbing on it that I will probably get fixed. I bought them used and love them. I will probably go for some 18's when its time to buy tires though. I think I want a little more meat in the wheel well.
