Haha thanks guys! I know the spokes are big. But its different. I like different. And my car used to be lower when i had coil overs on it when i got it but were like generic ones and really sucked. So Megan springs is what I bought. Id say its a perfect DD for the pa roads. Not too low not too high!

Of course black and gold looks good. One example comes clearly to mind, and any one else who grew up on 70's and 80's movies.

Looks good, but I consider that more of a dark gold than bronze.
This is what bronze is IMO:  Regardless, looks good. This post has been edited by SupraKid: Apr 20, 2012 - 10:08 PM |
