The car looks good with those rims on it. Like others before are saying it would looke even better with a drop in height.

Look as though you should have gotten a wider set of tires so you would have some rim protection from curbing.
How wide are the rims and what is the current tire size?

Instead of "RACING" the "R" should stand for "RICE".

CORRECTION EDIT: The 17"s weigh 25lbs. tHE 18"s weigh 29lbs.
Even worst than the first weight I posted.
And SportMax homepage says "The Purist Lightweight Wheel".

Question

i bought this car used from some other guy, and when i got the car that sticker was already on there and that brings up another question, would using a blow dryer be the best way to remove the sticker?? because i tried to see if it peeled right off but it just left a lot of that stick ****...

first off, i think your rims look fly and i love the black with the red. supa dupa fly. lol.


but when my boyfriend was trying to take off the Pinstrip on his Maxima (a 95..so it was caked on kind of serious) we waited until a sunny day (which was like the next afternoon, becasue its all sun sun sun here lol), and we tried the blow dryer for a little but i really kinda used my thumb nail. so i mean, something that you can just get the first pick, the blow dryer and some heat really does work wonders..and then just go to discount autoparts and get the **** to remove the glue, or walgreens and get googone for 5 dollars. lol. both work.

the "R" sign is only on the glass... just use a razor blade and scrape it off. before anyone tells me that it will scratch the glass, you slide the razor with the glass so it is almost parallel with the glass. should get all the adhesive off.

edit: no blowdryer required. my method works better when its cold out anyway, the sticker just cracks off..

Though the chrome lip looks nice, the overall wheel type (in my opinion) would look better on a euro tuner (Jetta, etc).
