    Default What would you do next?

    So I like the brutal honesty that people give on this forum. I can't make my mind up.
    Do I keep the same style wheels on it now but with different offsets to flush them when coilovers are installed OR keep the 2.25 drop I have now and go with a 19" sexy wheel. Here is the car as it sits now...



    19" wheels in mind are the MRR Design HR2 or the TSW Holsten.

    Go with the 19" MRR's. Those little SportMaxx's do nothing for your car.

    Oh, and lose whatever is written in the "No Fear" font.

    I say keep the wheels and flush it with coilovers, in my opinion I love these size cars with smaller wheels, not that huge shit.
    It's not speeding that kills, it's suddenly stopping that gets you.

    Stickers are from last year at shows, just been to lazy to remove them, I'm not a big fan of gunmetal wheels...

    I couldn't get anything for the wheels that are on it now, they are in to rough of shape.

    I have ponder the thought of getting rid of the car, but seeing how its just a year from being paid off so I'd rather just wait till next year and I'll have an actual project car.

    Don't "flush it" because what you mean by that probably isn't flush at all. I would cop some 18" Work Eurolines......about the same cost of new coilovers and your current wheels but it would be worth it.

    I didn't ask what the TRD option was. You asked opinions, though. I gave mine. If I had a Tahoe, I would ride under 22" wheels. Who cares? Later, QD.

    I know you didn't but I guess you missed the point. I do appreciate your opinions thats why asked. I didn't ask if you would ride under a 22" wheel on a Tahoe either.

    Do as they say, remove all stickers and make it real CLEAN, those cars are cool when they are clean. Drop and wheels is up to you, asking others about that is not gonna satisfy your taste.

    look pimpin... first off i'd like to say your vehicle is VERY clean. just remove some stickers.

    i'd rock anything between 16" and 18". i would NOT do 19's. depending on how low you wanna go would determine what size wheels to get. ive seen some hot examples of these with 18's. like this



    but he's low. get low son.
