      Do my 15" Rota's look bad?

      wheel gap is not too bad, but too lil of the rim looks wise, will not turn heads so ya it can look better, but your on a performance side so your ok

      i said i had 42 offset 17x7's.....45 is stock offset so 38 would be pushing it out even farther and if i had slight rub at 42 then pushing it out wouldn't do any better

      I need a better side pic. The wheel gap is because of the driveway, it's not there when parked on flat ground. The car has a slight rake and looks pretty damn sic. Thing is, I have modified intake, exhaust, bright keylime green, spoiler, yet everyone likes the car no matter what their age. Also you can hear it, but the noise level is very subtle. I still can't get gas without people making comments on the car... I even have people walk up in intersections and comment which is a little weird.

      i said "wheel gap is not too bad, but too lil of the rim looks wise", and not that there is alot of wheel gap, i like big rims and thin tires thats all

      hey thanks for all the tire advice i think though im going to go with the 16s performance is important but i still like the look of larger rims so i think the 16s will give me the best of both

      ain't that the truth, i laugh when i see a 2008 R32 getting bags on it for looks, so it can lay frame at a show. They are dropping them by the dozen. might as well buy a base rabbit and a body kit to do that instead of destroying an awd highline car that can handle.
