    I like the basket weaves better...maybe its the lack of deepdish or something. Maybe the blue centercaps? Idonno

    It must be the blue center caps, but except for that they look sharp. For that price I'm sure Gulephguy is still smiling without deepdish.

    Guelphguy, they look nice but I'll have to back up some of the guys here...I find the anodized blue centre-cap a bit distracting.

    You also need to drop the beast's front end...it looks like you'll get a nose bleed being that high up!

    You know it is funny you mention that, with the tire size of 235/45R17 it is exactly the same diameter as factory, yet I notice that as well, why does it appear that I suddenly have more "gap"......I already tought that I may find a way to strip the blue off those nuts...

    GG, I'm not sure...that looks even higher than stock. Maybe a new set of front springs is in order...

    the front probably looks so high because hes on a slanted driveway and the back wheels are braked. you dont need to remove the anodizing, just spend some time and mask off the blue really well then a few layers of wheel paint, and youll be set. It'll look smokin once you do that and lower it!
