looks good, that's a clean sub/amp install!

here is what about 1/2 the responses you will get here will say though: "dude you need to lower that thing"

I usually don't make a big deal obout lowering, personally - but with those big rims you might want to consider at least putting on some maxspeeds or H&Rs, which reduce the wheel gap and still maintain like-stock ride quality. I always think that the bigger your rims are, the more noticeable the wheel gap is on the maxima....

then again, don't listen to what people say - you gotta do your car up like you like it. Even with the 4x4 look it still is mad pimpin'....

Isn't that just a nice way of saying "dude you need to lower it".

He has a GLE. Bigger size rims and lowered on Maxspeeds/H&Rs may or may not feel close to your SE ride, but always remember that we GLEs are more spoiled than you guys when it comes to going over bumps. A GLE vs a lowered SE ride are much different. So there is no basis for comparison, which you do know already

And UCI Max, is it me or do you have some extra chrome strips in the grille? Looks gorgeous with the HIDs!

Yeah not sure why people don't lower before they get rims or atleast do them very close to each other. I like the rims, but you're taking so much away from them with those huge wheel gaps.

lol yeah, maximamadmoiselle i got those a llooooong time ago from ebay, 25 bucks, they look good to me, yeah the rims look way too small with that huge *** gap. the GD on illuminas sent me the wrong rears, so im waitin on the new ones to get here so i can put them in. I only took pics cause i just waxed it a bit, and wanted to get that just cleaned picture, you know how it goes... but it will be done in a week or so( hopefully).

i have the hypersilver rims. i have the H-tech springs along with GR2's. i love the ride on these and it lowered it perfectly for me. so far, you are the only other person that i have seen with these rims.

i see coo, yeah i know it would be a perfect drop too, im getting tein h tech as well with illuminas, but i have a system in trunk... in a way it sucks cause of the drop, but i like music so yeah..... h-techs are the only option for me, or coilovers.....h&r (my other choice) is too low in back, i only can afford a 1 in. drop in back. do you have any problems with bumps and jumping up and down?? i was worried about 19's and and bottoming out on the freeways and dips, at avg speeds...what is your experience?
lol i also noticed you have a white car with hypersilve
i have a dark car with dark silver...i dunno found that interesting
<--me easily entertained.
