    Default Forte koup new look?

    I know its a FWD with staggered wheels. I look at it Form over function so I don't care.


    Tell me what you think?

    I will say that it's neither "form" nor "function." Later, QD.

    It's not my car, but I really really think you should stick with 8's on front and back. It just doesn't look right at all, but it would be quite nice if you matched up the rims. How are you liking the car in general though? I'm kinda interested in them.

    Looks good. Forte Koups are one of the few asian imports I'd consider owning.

    I already have negative fender gap, lol. With the new wheels, the only way you'll know they're staggered is the concave. no lip.
