The wheels are small as is relatively to the car, and in black they look like 15s...

Hopefully it looks better in person, but I agree with the black making the wheels look worse/smaller, at least from these pics (IMO). I commend you for the effort though. Perhaps I'd like it better if the tires were shined, but who knows.

Anyway it still look much better in person, no regret to doing it. Aleast i have fun and enjoy with it.

Someone has been reading Sport Compact Car

Whatever, I think it looks hot, and it would be even better on a white or black car. The struts really do make a difference in ride height, don't they? I think your pictures make me want the struts as well as the springs.

I'm a consumer *****..

Nice drop with the springs/struts! Looks great. I'm not a fan of the flat black wheels but I understand why you did it.

My first impression of the rims was that they looked like steel spares especially with the silver lugs. It's too bad you ruined some of the nicest looking stock wheels on any car.

Well, like and dis-like. Always will be there, it is fine that you don't like it. I don't feel i ruined it, so it is fine with me.

No pain no fun, isn't it? Beside you think it is ruined, how you like it?
