Yeah, that's sick man. The rims make a huge difference in the appearance of your ride. My only recommendation is to remove the chrome pillars because it contradicts the rims. It'll give it a cleaner look.

+1 plus a nice drop will make it look even better

I like them, IMO though the chrome pillars and those LED's in the front aren't working for you. If you remove those and work on the suspension a bit you should have a very nice looking car, although it looks good already.

I like the LED's, I'm curious where you got them, what brand are they?

And the chrome pillars look good on White, don't remove as suggested above.

I like that you painted over the fog light molding pieces, subtle, but very custom look...

Looks nice. Now you need a real dark tint and black out the headlights.

Ugh. Why do people paint their headlights! You need those to see at night.
