New Wheels, finally!

Well I finally get new wheels. They are 18x7.5 Motegi MR7's wrapped in 225/40/18 Niken tires. I didn't get the most expensive stuff, but I really like what I picked out. My car feels completely different to drive now. Must be the wider wheels. And my tires stick really well (they don't spin out on wet roads now!).



It does need a drop, but I don't have any plans for that, as of now.

Sort of a front shot... The wheels dont stick out further than the body of the cars does if thats what your looking for.

Uhhh. Maybe. From what I read on the org, my tires should match the original size, but who knows. Even if they are a little bigger or smaller, it won't make an incredible amount of difference. Probably only a 1% difference.

Here's what's tasteful - Stillen kit, Progress coilovers, some spacers to remedy the horrible offset.

After that, you should have a pretty nice looking car.

Thats probably because the car has trouble spinning the heavier wheels bro. You'll notice that your car is probably a bit slower now too.

I have to give it a bit more gas, but its not bad. I gassed it pretty hard at a stop sign in the rain, though, and it still stuck. So far so good.

Its ok, many people have them. Its a fad. I always thought they stuck out too much, so a softer color like grey or black like you said is good

Well, I just bought some tail wings off a Boeing jet. And the 15x120" maxima logo banners are on the way. I decided against the washer nozzle l.e.d.s, since it might make my car look too ricey, so I just got the neons for underneath the car, instead. Im debating keeping the 18s or trading them in for 24s....I just don't know. JUST KIDDING!

I'm sure I will eventually, but I start college in a few weeks. So I'm gonna need some extra spending money for that, and I don't want to spend everything on my car, and not get to do anything fun in college with my friends. Plus, I just dropped $1300 on the wheels and tires, so spending more right now doesnt seem too wise. But, I'm still working during college, so I might have the money to drop by Christmas. I'll probably just get Illuminas and eibachs.
