idk about black rims i dont think theyll look bad at all, i just want a more unique car, my interior, well i love it i have it set up how i like it all painted with a nice radio just my exterior is just not as... unigue or clean as id like it and black wheels just seem such a small change in contrast to the blue

hey thanks guys :) idk about the white wheels right now due to it being a pain to find 4x108 wheels and due to not wanting to get new wheels right before winter, but i do like the color matching ideas! i think ill do that rather soon once i can find the right color or have it made

damn i like that... itll be a while before i can get all of that but that looks fantastic, good photoshop skills to, but is it legal to black out the side markers? cuz if it is i can actually do that today

if i order thee and get the bulbs for the turn signals can i just take out my normal turn signals in the grill? mass has some weird laws sometimes and i have to get it inspected every year

City hall won't know anything. If anything, the State Police will be the ones bustin your balls. I sit right by an exit ramp in Swansea on my lunch break and I see lowered cars all the time. Don't even worry about it. As for the wheels, you can always try white plastidip on your stockers for the winter. Just for a feeler anyway. As shown above.

and hey just painting your existing rims yellow would look good so you wouldn't have to pay $400 a rim on actual color rims :)...get some wheel paint (plasti dip) for like $10 a can..may need 2 or 3 cans...and nightshade your tails...2 or 3 coats let dry over night..sand and then clear coat it

I don't mean to revive a dead thread. But, I can tell you that you can lower your car way more than 2 inches. I live in Westfield as well and my car is slammed and have never had any problems other than potholes..

Here's a pic for reference, awful quality, but you can see I'm way lower than 2"...:
