Hello, I (paint)chopped some Konig Tantrums onto my car (along with some other things), and the intent was for them to be 17's. But they look a little more like 18's to me. Did I screw up on the size? I don't have much experience with this. What do you guys think? Any tips on how to know what size I'm chopping, other than just looking at it?

Yeah they look closer to 18s than 17s. Nice photochop though. Those wheels look alot like the Motegi MR7 wheels. Oh, nice car too.

White people love Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

well like I said, most of the car is chopped, you can see what it really looks like when my profile gets approved
Oh yeah, how does the drop look? I like the way it looks, but I fear it might be a bit lower than Eibachs, which I want to get. Coilovers are too expensive for me!!

Yeah, they look a bit bigger than 17s, but they still look pretty good. Nice car.

Thanks, yeah those look more like 17's...is that DeepDishSVT's car? If so, we have almost exactly the same tastes in wheels!  Tantrums, Type T's, RS-5's... HonkeyTonk - you're the master of chopping. Do you think that drop looks about right for Eibachs?

As far as I know it's Neil's old car car (GatorVR4) but with the paint changed with photoshop
see?
BTW, I think your drop is a bit too much for eibachs, just a bit less in the drop (The Eibacks are a 1.5" drop IIRC)
