So i've always wanted after market wheels for my car but couldn't afford new ones. Finally i got my hands on some Ive never heard of the brand name(i think there nock offs), i bought from my boss at work.
They're Devtno Road Concepts:18" silver 7spokes.

I think the wheels are gorgeous, but is the wheel gab so bad that it looks retarded?

Please choose one of the following:
A)lower it
B)looks fine the way it is
C)put the stockers back on!
D)Your car looks like a ricer!
E)All of the above
OR
F)None of the above

Those are 18s ? Hmm.. the gap did stand out at first (I think it might be because of the way your car is leaning in the driveway). Otherwise, I like those - they look nice.

B

A
i think it would look killer with a little drop

 

[novellino21]

Well i do want to lower it but my concerns are bottoming out on driveways, going through car washes, ect.
That and i cant afford a new suspension setup. I have to get a used one.

Drop it and get some bigger tires. Then i'd say it'll look damn good.

 

[novellino21]

Is anyone selling a used lowering suspension setup?

 

[AliasJerk]

tires are Too damn tiny, get a fatter tire and drop it. Will look sexy then.

you should do what i do. constantly check out the local junkyards. i found a couple different svts and i got a rear strut tower brace($5), b&m shifter($25), struts with lowering springs($25for all of them with the knuckles), upper and lower manifolds($20 for both), and the cams($20 for all), i also have a collection of front bumpers and seats in my basement

Tires are also really expensive. Do tire company's do trades +Money for other tires?

They only buy back used tires if they are in good shape with alot of tread.

I'm out in the country and CSVT's dont come around too often. That and not many people put money into their base contours.
But a good idea, i'll check it out.

trades for used tires? good luck. theres no core on tires because who would want to buy used ones? theres no way of making them like new again.

 

[Smalls]

i'll check it out.

car-part.com is a great site for finding whatever you need. but keep in mind that a lot of the smaller junkyards and the u-pull its dont keep an inventory on the internet

True, but i bet people would pay money for some slightly used ones that are cheaper than new ones.

i swear those look like 15's......but nice lookin. Burn out those tires, watch the curb check with those.....and get some 45's later on. Those rims are h()t.

 

[Goonz SVT]

whats the spec on the tires? they look really really thin, thats why it looks weird

 

[novellino21]

the thot has occured to me to get diff. tires with thicker side wall, but that costs money. and money i dont have.......at the moment.

 

[novellino21]

i jus figured lowering it would solve the problem

If you really want to wait, if anything, i say lower it first, cause i have 18's with beefier tires without a drop and it still looked goofy, so drop it first.

 

[fordsvt98]

Ya for sure. It would look clean dropped.....what size and who makes those tires?
