After 48 hours on S-Lites, brand new "shoes" :-)

So I barely had my car for 48 hours and not even close to 200 miles that I already put on new "shoes" on my MOSKITO.
The new "shoes" are 17x7 Exel Race with 205/45/17 Yokohama AVS ES 100 tires.
I love this look.

Above just before the "switch", and below right after.

Shot from way below as you can see, thus the angle does not help.

It does look a bit weird in the garage pics. But here is a more normal angle out in the lot.
Cheers,

I think this angle decides it. Springs. Now. If you do not want that tuner crashed look, try the H-sports as the drop is moderate and the handling is excellent.

Wheels look good!

Get springs if you want em... (I have them) but if you like the ride and handling as it is, it looks fine as it is as well...:smile:
