Screw the wheels, you should paint the rest of your car



EDIT: Car on cinderblocks? Come on man, you're just begging for something bad to happen

Re: 17s just painted 56k

in due time cant fit tha car in a storeage room ha ha, it will probly be a few months before i get a place to shoot it at, not my choice just what i gotta deal with

center blocks are good enough, ive done this for years, key is wood at least 2(2x4) they spread tha wieght evenly across block, tomorrow afternoon i will put centercaps(oem) and reinstall rims

Drop looks good, but you may have to raise it a little bit from looking at your photo of the rear.

And yeah, hope you can paint the car sooner than later. :)

Just cause they are 19's doesn't mean he is going to rub


Look at my car for example.. 19's and no fender/or bumper tab modification..
