Yeah dude it definitely looks way better than before, that's for sure.

I've been lower in the past, but eventually got over not being able to push it in the turns.

Either way, congrats to him on getting some legit wheels.

Any WWPs running on solid black rims? No chrome/polished lip or anything, just black?

I'm having the hardest time in the world deciding on wheels. I haven't seen any 8s on black wheels without a polished lip or colored lining or something like that, but if any of you can find any pics then I'd be grateful. I digged all around this thread looking myself, and the closest thing I found was people painting their stock rims in a flat black...

Yeah tiltmode, what's the deal with the sidemarkers? I'm assuming it's offset related? Or are you just waiting to get new ones?

Grog nailed it, low offset + wide wheel/tire = can't have corners in.

For the longest time I planned on putting the FEED bumper on and filling it in so there is no corner, but I've changed what I want to do to the car and will be spending minimally on purely aesthetic mods, maybe a lip, if even that. That's the current plan at least, but as many will tell you, it seems to change often, lol.

I'd love to too but I'd rather spend that $3000 on the driver mod and some other misc things such as seat, steering wheel, harness bar, and most importantly, lots and lots of tires.

I'm in the 8 game for the long run though so I'm sure I'll move on to appearance some day.

And to add some color to this page
