Hmmm... they don't meet my taste now that I see them on the 6. Maybe a drop and painted calipers would do the trick. Especially the painted calipers, since thee is ALOT of showing between those wide spokes.

the rims i think arent that bad as the others would say... its ok in my opinion... but matching the rims with a stock height six doesnt really match.... lowering should definitely make it (the whole package) better.....

the tires though.. hmm you re-used the stocks didnt you? tires look a little "fat"...

the rims themselves are very nice, but for some reason they dont look right on your car. i think just like everyone said, lower it and paint the calipers, maybe big brake kit??

lol.. talk about peer pressure.

The rims are actually similar to these... except these are 20s and the car is practically on the ground. But what a difference.....
