I agree, they look pretty nice but lets face it that owner ruined the look of the car :P

If they look good on something as ugly as that im sure they will look great on your Q

They're referring to the air ride enabled parking "stance". It's not to their liking.

Yes, beautiful wheels.

Make it look like that GS only if you are going to ride it that low.

well most of the VIP guys in SD are rocking the nankangs because they are easy to stretch and its a lot cheaper than the dunlops and falkens.

Yeah, and if you're just going to wear the inside edge of the tire anyway, may as well get the least expensive tires you can.

im kind of having second thoughts for the front wheel specs. im trying to get the best fitment i can with a 10 in the front without any body modifications. would i have to camber the fronts a bit to lower all the way down? what do you guys reccommend on a 10'' tire stech. i was thinking 235/35/19 or even 225's?

Wadda-yall talking about?

This car is fully functional and practical.

You can cruise and pick lettuce at the same time.

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Those wheels look awesome.

Best of all, they look easy to keep clean. Larger flat surface, you know?

Big wheels are the things to me.. matter fact, im going to be selling my brand new 20s that are on my Q. They are only 3-4months old with brand new Falkens. And im putting 22s with Falkens on my Q. You ask yourself WHY.. welll i dont know, i ask my self, why are you trying to add more stuff to ur car to make it stronger. And give more horsepower, and all this extracurricular stuff that yall get from WES. (NO OFFENSE WES). Put it like this, you got those that wanna look good, and you got those that what really feel the good, even if it doent look as good. Well i have to look good. Give me Anything factory, and ill throw DUBS on it. 1 thing i can say tho, mine still looks luxurius. Ah well, Throws them wheels on there..

Not everybody has the same taste in mods..the DUB Q is nice, but the GS is nicer to me that is.

Those wheels would look good on your Q, somebody from VSC actually has a 10" front with 0 offset and it fit under the stock fender.

i think you made a good choice. its good to see 0 offset instead of some +30 junk.

i think you should ask this question on vsc because most of the people on q45.org are into racing their cars with meaty tires.
