Now you just have to SLAM it!  Will you be able to lower it with that rubber / wheel combination?  Looks a bit tight.  Looks good though.  Different is the way to go.

needs to be lower in the back, those wheels would look better tucked front and rear, Or you need more meat on those rear tires!

the look like konig imagines..... they are a decent looking wheel, but quality wise not to good.

i would have gone with something different, like a 3 piece german wheel.

but it looks cool if your into that sort of thing  :blink:


p.s. those are 4x100 correct ???

are adapters expensive or did you make them yourself.
