Why not get 18s?
because im not buying them new.. lol but $600 with brand new tires so im good with 17's for now. it frees up my OEM wheels as drift spares too.

I'm only able to use the scissor jack. It's kinda tough the first couple of cranks being that close to the floor...

...but i'm gettin' HELLABUFF in the process...

...it makes me feel badass...

Faces from 19" LM's mounted with reverse lips and separate barrel for a 3 piece design - won't find another set of these easily, if at all. Built by a local shop that will soon blow up

me! conventional jacks don't work for my car...

my buddy has to use his jack made for Corvettes (seeing how their jack point is in the middle of the car)

so his jack is very low and long.

driving up 2x4's doesn't work either, i'd have to go up 10 steps to fit a normal jack under my car.

stupid, i know...
