Can anyone post some pics of a 6gc with this kind of set up? 16" rims in the front and 17" rims in the rear? I think it'll look funky but I think you cam pull it off if you pick the correct tire sizes?

Lol. Performance is what evs. I'm actually going retarded and doing wider in the rear and skinnier in the front. At least that's what I want in the future. Looks much cleaner even though it's a FWD. -------------------- |

Actually the rpf1 I'm using it as my form wheels and my 5zigen as my functions. Lol. Either way i just want a nice looking DD that's built right. -------------------- |

There's a set of Volk TE37's on Facebook I keep seeing. Part of me wants to pick them up but I like my wheels I have too much. But you are the man for a set of TE37's since you are 6gc's current rim connoisseur.

To save some cost and have oem rims. Just waiting for one set of my wheels to be sold then I'll be in the process of the conversion. -------------------- |
