It's hard to get a good pic but here is what I got. It's definately just the way the tire is made but I can see what you are saying from the other pics. I just de-badged her tonight and like pa4ul said, once I lower it the look will be complete, well tack on some clear corners, HID kit and clear side markers and then I should be done with the exterior and time to move inside and install my audio / video system that I have been too lazy to get to yet, then on to the performance mods

I know, I know, I need to hit the calipers and what-not with some paint. I will be doing that this weekend when I change the pads out and lube everything up. That's not a crack on the inside of the rim, just where dirty water ran down.

nice, i don't like those tails though. also the tire is doing that not because of the brand but because of the size. 225/40 on a 18x8 will create a stretch look. there's nothing wrong with the tire lol. capo i have a set of oem 1 piece with CC mod done to it for sale. pm me if you want it.

Cool...will do thanks for the heads-up. Can't wait to get everything in place! I like he smoked side markers myself but that's just my opinion.

The wheels look good on the car - when you go lower it'll really come together - I'm looking forward to pics of that
