smit

i think it looks really good. looks like your work and expense have really paid dividends in terms of a nice motor.

personally i think it looked better with the motorsport wheels but hey those other rims are still sweet.

Yeah those are Keskin KT1's, same as mine.

Once you start rteducing the ride height you'll run into some serious clearance issues and need major arch work doing on the back for clearance.

Would be better if you posted in the right section too!

The car looks REALLY GOOD, nice wheels - nice colour. And if you were to lower it just a little bit it would be 100%
