okay, it looks like i'm going to be the nicest one here. lol! i didn't think it looked as bad as the comments are indicating. yes, a bit wide in the rear, but the style looks okay in my opinion. i think you were just trying to achieve a wider look with a narrow body.

best wishes with your new wheels.

Replacement is the question indeed.

I thought I had found a set of powdercoated black rims on 6speed, but no word from the potential seller- meaning he is either busy or lost interest. I still have my stock rims, but one is bent, per the dealer, so something has to happen. I saw some black rims on eBay and TireRack, but given the low price i question the quality.


If anyone has some to sell, pm me!

i'm sure she's like me. we just can resist men in hot 996's that modify them. especially with the wheels/tires. it's cute.
