Finally! A Change In Looks...*56K NOOO*[UPDATED, CAR LOWERED]

So it was about time I bought myself rims for my car. I bought em' used but overall the wheels are in excellent shape. They are 17x7.5 Velox VX-8's on Kumho Ecsta 205/40/17. The tires are used and will be replaced later when I have some money. And yes, I know the car needs to be dropped. Car will be dropped in a day or two, will update pics with the drop. Tell me what ya'll think! Thanks for looking! [thumb]

I think the 205 is too narrow for your rims. I think a 215 would have filled them out a lot better. There's always next time.

That's the size I'm goona go if I ever get the wheels I'm looking for.
If it's good for an SVT, it's good enough for my ZX3 [hihi]

thats funny... I lowered mine... have had the tires 4,000 miles (pedal to the metal, several track runs) and only wore 2/32s of an inch... and my buddy with an 05 black ST has the same springs and his car was in perfect alignment... the springs of course are sportlines
