Opinion on my new look

Here is my new look. I like the rim size cause the tires are brand new. 16s did not really do it for me on this car cause they seemed to be too big and rubbed for some reason.

The anti-polished lip member says: Get rid of the polished lip.

Are the wheels really that color? If so they match pretty good. If they are lighter it will look ghey. Exact color or darker, do it.

I beg to differ, i think 17's are ideal for our cars, with a decent drop of course. How did 16's rub? What size tire did you have on there?

I beg to differ with you too. I went from stock 15's to 17's and now on 16's and 16's on a daily driver is the ideal. 17's look marginally better but they ride like crap. 16's look good and ride better.

And I don't see how a 16 rubbed either or a 17 for that matter on no drop.

wow...that was photoshopped and i didn't even realize...i think you need to go w/ 16's and a smaller tire profile!...the wierd feeling you felt while driving was prolly because there's less tire to absorb any bumps...so the rim and your shocks take most of the impact....
