I'd be real careful with the wheel choice especially - alot of people out there are going with larger diameter wheels just to say they "got dubs" or whatever. I've even seen pics of cars with 20 x 8.5 in the back - complete with the wrong offset - doesn't make sense to me. makes the stance all wrong and increases the wheel well gap unless you put on HUGE spacers and three foot long lug bolts. I don't know about anyone else but the ten millimeter longer lug bolts I used even scare me. No, unless you are upgrading to a higher quality or lighter european or U.S. built wheel - why bother? The decision was made for me as soon as I saw the pics of Andrew's car - perfect stance, perfect fender gap, And not all that expensive. Our cars are refined european sporting coupes, I think aftermarket styling cues taken from other even more upscale cars (porsche, bmw, benz) would be in order. You can make it an SL65 wannabe or an overpriced civic with a cool body kit!
