The only few I can think of are

Aston Martin VanquishR35 GTRBMW M5 2005+ models

All other stock wheels make me vomit in my mouth a little.
You don't think the r34 GTR wheels are awesome?

Im lowered with SE rims, they are a lot nicer than base model rims for that im glad, but i am def saving for some wheels and tires soon, they make a nice difference, but i would agree that they are closer to the end of the priority list, i want my car to be fast, not look fast. Ill probly stay 4 lug though cause im broke.



oh the stupid front tire went flat and i didnt retake pics after i fixed it so i do have all 4 SE rims for the record heh i hate the multi rim look

EDIT: My car looks like a 4X4 in the sig its pre-drop pics.

They look good on other cars besides the R34, not wide enough for the BNR34.

His car is stock aside from springs or something.

He didn't, "pull it off" any better than any of the other cheap as.ses.

But it's ok. There are already hundreds of other people who can't buy wheels.

But I would rather people rock stock wheels until they can afford something aside from the poor standard, (rota, sportmax, adr).

That isnt't true. The car gains negative camber as it drops. not positive.

Whatever. Hell if I know. His car looks stock. For all I know he could've cut his springs.

With how cheap people are with 240's now-a-days it wouldn't surprise me.

But thanks for the elaboration.

Ahh.

Well that's a huge step in the right direction.

Like I said, I'm glad one would keep stock wheels until they buy something nice.

Which it seems like he did.

He sounds like good peoples.

Sorry bud, but Im gonna have to call you out on this one.Once the control arms pass 90 degrees of the strut, they do the complete opposite.
