any 96 I30's out there droped on stock wheels...
 

I am thinking about going back to 15's and sticky tires for added acceleration and comfort. I was never lowerd on my stock T wheels so I am not sure how it would look. Any pics of a 96 on stock wheels(T model preferably) that is lowered?

thanks guys

I've got aftermarket 16's...they look good and still ride nicely....no pics yet though *snow and salt make them look awful*.....

Mike if no one turns up anything as a last resort. I am sure you can photoshop them or have someone do it for you :thumbsup:

You be the judge.

PS, I am all for 15" wheels for performance on my prelude Vtec or GSR because they make like 130lb ft of torque. The a32 has plenty of torqe to effectively turn a reasonably light 17" wheel.

I think a good, lightweight 17 with sticky rubber is a much better alternative to a 15 in almost all situations. At the strip it might not be a bad idea to run 15" drag radials, but for anything else.... I ran a 17lb 17" wheel and 225/45 ZR17 Falken Azenis autocrossing, and it was glorious!

Real Nice Pics, I am assuming you switched out your headlamps for 98-99 lamsps because they are really clear :thumbsup: I have cleared my corner and in the event I cannot find the Cefiro one piece this is a nice option, looks better than I thought. Did you remove the turning lamp because of CAI? I am looking for a very similar wheel looks great on white, I think it will look nice on black as well.

I did put in the 99 i30 headlights, and the corners were cleared courtesy of i30tMikeD. The cornering lamp was removed for the cold air, I kinda hoped it would act like a ram air or something. The wheels are actually a really dark gunmetal with polished lip. I dig em, they are pretty light and were not too expensive.
