Wow those are great looking 18in wheels. Are you on stock suspension? Lowered a little and it would look awesome

Yup, still stock... and yet a shop tech has already grounded my front spoiler, and I've hit the rear exhaust tip on steep driveways. I'm investigating suspensions still, but I'll have to use the minimum drop that allows the recomended front-rear rake.

They look better on your car than they did on Carnerd's car.

You need some black lug nuts too.

Now go and lower you car.

I hear ya....I would look into PSS10s if it were my car

Curious - is there a sale on these BBSs right now and from who. I may have to price a set out for my C2...

Heh... I'm already getting $h-t from some of my tuner friends, who really wanted me to get 20s in some sort of 5-spoke pattern. =)
