try changing to a 40 or 35 series tires... might look a lot better than that 45 series.

 

i like em

 

whenever i hear the word professor, unrelating to school, i think of that kid on AND 1, street balling..lol

 

DA PROFESSOOOORRR. hehe i used to like that stuff.

 

HAHA sorry to fool ya but yeah im not looking for a flush look i kinda want it tucked in i would go 17's but theyll look too small especially with the mesh type.

 

Well these wheels have alot of options such as wut specs you would from the wheels. I kinda want a deep dish type on the rears but not too much and theres a chart for these wheels and since im not a wheel guru like some of you i dont know which has the deep dish or where to read it from which im pretty sure is there.

 

Not necessarily. I feel it depends if the wheel has a lip and the size/pattern/number of the spokes. For example: the BBS LM in a 17in diameter looks small, but my 17in BBS RG-R actually look larger than they are on occasion. The MS1 looks particularly small in diameters appropriate for our car. I've seen 17 and 18 inch versions of the wheel in person and they look very similar because of the way the lip is and the depth of the face.

 

i told u sergio going low is the only way.... i just took 2 rims apart tonight and start polishing and ordered new tires... wooooot! i also found someone who makes LM barrels for very cheap.. give me a few weeks and im gonna show you how the LMs will look redone..

 

tire size and tucking have a huge factor.. in my pics im wayyyy lower then checho... the lower u drop the better off your going to look.. its the same with almost any 17" wheel... crappy drop = tiny wheel... with 18s its not an issue but 17s yes.. its a huge factor...

also serg if u had a lip kit that would help out tremendously...

 

anyone want my volks for $1400+shipping???

 

Yup i never thought those subtle things made such a difference , thats what my tax return is going towards, Lip+ Coils

 

even 18's are an issue, my gt-p's look like crap with just springs, hopefully ill be on some coilovers soon, i can't stand it. plus im wanting to paint my hood and deck back to white, that might be the reason it doesn't look so good, i dont think those wheels flow good with a panda theme car

 

i thought it looked fine the way it was...

 

someone buy these fkn sweet wheels... OMG WHAT A PRICE ON CHEVLON!!

those look awesome on civics but i have no clue on a tc...

 

tire size it the problem. your sidewalls are too thick for the design of your wheels. if you had thicker spokes like Pete's old Weds, then the tires wouldnt look so fat. thin spokes need thin tires.
you need sidewalls that are as thin as the lip of your wheels. 215/45 or 225/40 would look much better.

black cars always look lower because the wheel gap blends in with the car, so I wouldnt worry so much about the drop.

 

both of us have 225/45 tires.. the problem with mines looking a little better is im lower and can hide the tire chunk easier...

im going to go down to a 215/45 tire next or possibly a 205/45 for an even more stretched look... i know doing this will definitely help the wheel look bigger. adding some camber etc etc ....

 

pete, are your lm specs the same as checho's? i was under the impression that yours were a bit wider.
