New rims and tint

I know chrome is "out" now, but I'm old and stuck in the "chrome age". The tint isn't nearly as dark as it looks in the photo.

What is the deal with the 18" looking small on these cars? It keeps screwing up my wheel picks. I dont want to go bigger than 18 but they really do look a little small on this body style.

Not to take anything away from yours! Those are def some bling.

I know what you mean. Perhaps lowering the car would make 18" look OK

18s look great in person, they just don't photograph as well.

I think the black panels make the wheels look smaller than they are. I've noticed that since the 10s came out. Lowering helps.

Definately, do a 1" or 1.5" coil drop. That will change the look of the car drastically.

I think the 18" wheels look just fine, 19" max, bigger than that and they look cartoonish, big wheels with rubber band tires to keep the outside tire diameter right.

If the car gets lowered those wheels/tires will look like they belong.
