OMG Jamie your car looks agro!!! And those sideskirts are perfect for it. I can't imagine any other sideskirts to compliment its macho-ness. Now you just need a motor to back it up. Anyways, I woner what kind of person you'd have to be to do this:

It's been forever since I've seen that body kit! Time for some wheels and suspension to match.

I do have wheels to match I like those wheels, but as for the suspension, I'm saving up for some air bags so speedbumps no longer mean dead end lol

yo! not bad! obviusly im more of a stock oem guy but if you go this route its def doin somethin right!. i personally suggest different wheels bro. i know yo like these and at the end of the day thats all that matters...but man i personally think they are to small. some 16s or 17s with some offse maybe. lower it and fill out the form. the lines would work better that way. i love when cars hava form that flows together. thats why i think some more aggressive wheels would suite the body style youve chosen. awesome job tho bro!

Not the route I would have taken but I can appreciate the work that has gone into it . As others have said, those wheels have got to go. You've clearly spent a lot of money on the bodykit and paint, but the wheels are really letting it down. They're far too small and the offset is way off. You need some 17's or 18's under there, with around a +30 offset to fill up the fenders. Usually with that much fender gap I'd recommend lowering it ASAP but since your bodykit sits so close to the ground as it is you'd have a lot of trouble getting up driveways and over speed bumps if you went any lower, so that's where the larger wheels would help. Some 17's with 215/45 tires (or even 50's) would reduce the gap quite a lot and improve the whole look substantially.

Very nice job with paint and bodykit, but definitely have to agree about the wheels. Lower with some big wheels will make big defference. Air rides are great for what you are looking for with the speed bumps and all, a lot of headaches comes with them too.......

I want air bags so bad, but my last upgrade put me in the hole about 7 and a half grand, not to mention the audio upgrade I just did which put me in another 2. So I'm currently what you call.. EXTREMELY broke lol But I guess you guys are right, bigger wheels, but I am gonna get the exact same ones, just bigger But I also need airbags, what would you say I should go with first? I mean currently, I can't do speedbumps AT ALL, they'd rip the bumper off, I can't even turn off of most roads into parking lots or anything until i slap a skid plate on the bottom lol, so what would you say go with first? rims for like a few hundred, or air bags for like a few thousand? Both are needed and both have advantages

suspension is most important. just bigger wheels to compliment.....but whatever you do. remember that Jamison said go with offset wheels lol

Yeah, I meant "wheels to match" as in big wheels to match the huge body kit. You definitely need 18"s for that kit, and definitely go with low offset to flush them out.

Tbh, I was just thinking wider and bigger wheelss instead of a big offset, and use spacers if needed. I was thinking about 2" wider, as well, the back sticks out about that much over the tire's width

Looks like a lot of patience and hard work, good job! If your baggin it, I don't think you need to get bigger wheels. just find some good spacers to bring them out a little, they deserve the attention. Can't wait to see the audio setup

I was thinking about 2" wider, as well, the back sticks out about that much over the tire's width Sounds perfect. I don't think you'll need spacers though (same as offset anyway). For example, looking at your sig pic, I can see light in between the rear wheel and rear bumper lol. Gotta fill that in!
