It looks like a clone of my car. I like it, but it definately needs more of a drop. My rims are close to the same sizes, its a lot lower, and they dont rub at all. Thats the magic of rolling fenders...

This shot makes me want a white S13 hatch:



I just wish my coupe's paint looked that good, that car is clean.

That's not a bad looking set of wheels at all... in my awesome opinion though 18s are huuuuuggeeeeee and too big for 240s.

Well as long as they've been powder coated, you shouldnt have a problem with chipping (powder coated is when they bake the paint into the wheels) but they look good....I'm going with those same rims 18"s in gold myself!

I know wat powder coating is, but the guy din do a very good job on the clear coat he put on. I'd rather have gunmetal.

I might have gone with a 235/255 on those widths but ideally I want 245s on all fours.

The wheels look good. The rears seem to fit nicely. I personally agree with the rest about lowering some more. Nothing like some fenders huggin' flush wheels.
