    I dont like the wheels or ride height but congrats on the conversion. Now you have just added 1million more reasons for you car to be stolen in atlanta. Looks good.

    i have 17s on my db8. but like sammich said, it only looks right if you have the right drop and wheel. coilovers definitely help. 15s are definitely too small for 4-doors in my opinion. you can't go wrong with 16s though

    Thanks everybody for the comments an props. I probaly will get some coilovers later but I'm goin to stick with the springs rite now. What's the best way for me to get the black scuff marks off the hood? An the city lights are blue. I need to find bulbs to replace them before the cops pull me over.
